Prof Goldstein has extensive clinical trial experience in both design and leadership. He also participated in a number of translational studies and is an active collaborator in three laboratory programs focused upon modeling of the use of targeted agents. His activity over many years in one of the least common cancers and least studied, until recently, in the GI area – pancreas cancer, as well as GIST and biliary cancers gives him great insight into the challenges of approaching a suite of rare cancers. He has also been involved in several large scale epidemiologic studies, the most recent looking at pancreatic cancer. He has contributed to pivotal data resulting in PBS changes in approval for adjuvant gemcitabine in pancreas cancer, imatinib in metastatic and adjuvant GIST and first line nab-paclitaxel in pancreatic cancer.
