Fellow (Molecular Genetic Pathology)
University of Pennsylvania
Austin Good, MD, PhD, a graduate of the molecular genetic pathology fellowship at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. I attended Carnegie Mellon University for undergraduates studies in chemical and biomedical engineering. I spent a year as a postbac at the NIH in the lab of Dr Karl Pfeifer studying mechanisms of imprinting at the H19/IGF2 locus. I completed an MD/PhD at the University of Pennsylvania. For my thesis project in the lab of Dr Doris Stoffers, I investigated regulation of mRNA translation in pancreatic beta cells during metabolic stress using genome-wide ribosome profiling techniques. I am finishing a CP-only pathology residency following an out-of-sequence molecular genetic pathology fellowship at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. I am currently working in a pancreatic cancer lab (Dr Ben Stanger) and plan to pursue a career as a physician/scientist, including clinical activities in molecular pathology and research in cancer biology and genetics. My research interests include spatial transcriptomics and organoid models of tumorigenesis.
