Research Interests
Dr. Goldberg has participated in numerous clinical trials involving the use of lipid-modifying agents, including the Lipid Research Clinics Coronary Primary Prevention Trial which was one of the first to show that lowering blood cholesterol levels decreases risk of coronary artery disease. Other work has focused on studies of the effects on lipids and lipoproteins of diet, soluble fiber, and a variety of drugs with different mechanisms of action. Drug classes studied include bile acid sequestrant resins, nicotinic acid, HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, cholesterol absorption inhibitors, and fibric acid derivatives as well as novel lipid-lowering agents. Her clinical research has included Phase 2 through Phase 4 studies as well as outcome studies.

The large amount of clinical material serves as a pool for recruiting patients for clinical trials and for studies performed by the research laboratories of the Endocrinology, Metabolism and Lipid Research Division and as a major teaching base.
