Researcher joins Cedars-Sinai
Marc Troup Goodman
Marc Troup Goodman, PhD, MPH, joined Cedars-Sinai’s Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute, where he will lead an academic program in cancer prevention and genetics, as well as help advance the study of how environment and biology affect disease.
Goodman’s research has focused on the links between diet, metabolism, genetics and cancer. At Cedars-Sinai, he will continue his studies to understand how a person’s genetic pathways and lifestyle combine to affect their cancer risk.
“I am excited to join Cedars-Sinai because it represents the best in patient care and research,” Goodman said in a press release. “Cancer research has made some huge steps forward in the past few years. For example, cervical cancer is a major killer in many countries, and now the HPV vaccine is helping to eradicate that disease. I hope to contribute to many more such medical triumphs.”
Goodman previously served as a professor at the University of Hawaii’s Cancer Center. He has studied genetic pathways for ovarian and uterine cancers; the association of HPV with cervical, anal and oral cancers; and the link between diet and breast cancer.
