Rachel Goldsmith, Ph.D., is an Intramural Research Training Award fellow in the WormTox Group in the Biomolecular Screening Branch of the National Toxicology Program Division at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). She joined the NTP C. elegans Screening Facility in 2011, where she is developing a mechanism-based toxicological assay. The assay is based on measuring the activities of genes in stress-response pathways that share homologies among C. elegans, rodents and humans.
Prior to joining the NTP, Goldsmith received her B.S. degrees in biochemistry and biology from Brandeis University in Waltham, MA and her Ph.D. in molecular and cellular pathology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her Ph.D. work focused on the potential nephrotoxicity of anti-trypanosomal compounds.
