Marc Goldstein, M.D.
Senior Scientist
Marc Goldstein is a senior scientist at the Population Council’s Center for Biomedical Research. He is internationally renowned for his pioneering work in vasectomy reversals and microsurgical repair of varicoceles and blockages and has performed over 1,000 microsurgical vaso-vasostomies and vaso-epididymostomies. He developed the microsurgical technique of varicocelectomy in 1984 and has performed over 3,000 procedures with the lowest reported failure and complication rates.
Goldstein has authored or co-authored over 200 journal articles and book chapters. He is the author of Surgery of Male Infertility (1995), the first textbook on the subject, and editor of Atlas of the Urologic Clinics of North America: Surgery for Male Infertility (1999) and Atlas of Clinical Urology: Infertility Section (1999). He co-authored the recently published A Baby At Last! The Couples' Complete Guide to Getting Pregnant—from Cutting-Edge Treatments to Commonsense Wisdom (Fireside Books/A Simon & Schuster Paperback) (PDF of news release). He is on the editorial boards of the medical journals Microsurgery and Journal of Andrology.
A summa cum laude graduate of the College of Medicine, State University of New York-Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York, Goldstein was trained in urology at Downstate Medical Center. He continued his postgraduate training in reproductive physiology at the Center for Biomedical Research and the Rockefeller University Hospital. In addition to his work at the Population Council, Goldstein currently is a professor of reproductive medicine and urology at Weill Medical College of Cornell University; surgeon-in-chief of male reproductive medicine and surgery at New York Weill Cornell University Medical Center; executive director of the Men’s Service Center of the Cornell Institute for Reproductive Medicine; and director of the Center for Male Reproductive Medicine and Microsurgery at the New York Weill Cornell University Medical Center.
