About Me
Distance running in college sparked an interest in lactate physiology that Goodwin has been chasing ever since. After a PhD in lactate and oxidative metabolism with L. Bruce Gladden at Auburn University in Alabama, Goodwin matriculated at Cornell University in New York City for his medical education. Currently a resident in orthopaedic surgery with plans to pursue fellowship in musculoskeletal oncology, his primary interest is in tumor metabolism and how tumors interact with their microenvironment in vivo. In the Jones lab, Matt investigates lactate’s role in attenuating or potentiating sarcomagenesis and how this might be targeted clinically.
