Oscar Goodman, M.D., Ph.D.

Assistant Member, Department of Clinical Oncology

Dr. Goodman received his medical degree from Jefferson Medical College and his Ph.D. from Thomas Jefferson University, both schools located in Philadelphia.  He joined NVCI after formerly serving as an assistant attending physician at New York Presbyterian Hospital and an assistant professor in the Department of Medicine at Cornell University College of Medicine in New York.

In addition to his laboratory activities, Dr. Goodman sees patients with genitourinary cancers, such as prostate and bladder. He also continues his research focusing on novel mechanisms that regulate tumor angiogenesis in prostate cancer. The overall goal of this research is to develop new, potentially better therapeutic agents that can control tumor growth by specifically inhibiting the development of new blood vessels feeding the tumor cells.
