Marcus D. Goncalves, MD, PhD, has been appointed director of the Holman Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism at NYU Langone Health. He succeeds Ira J. Goldberg, MD, who has led the division since 2014 and will continue as a member of the faculty.
Goncalves joined NYU Langone in 2024 from Weill Cornell Medicine and New York-Presbyterian Hospital. He also serves as the Clarissa and Edgar Bronfman, Jr., associate professor of endocrinology and director of Systemic Metabolism Research in the Department of Medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, and as an associate professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology. A nationally recognized endocrinologist and physician-scientist, he leads a robust research program at the intersection of metabolism, cancer, and endocrine signaling. His work has advanced understanding of conditions including cachexia, obesity, insulin resistance, and the metabolic effects of dietary sugars such as fructose, with a consistent focus on translating discovery into better care for patients.
As director, Goncalves will guide the division’s clinical, research, and training missions. Priorities include enhancing NYU Langone’s comprehensive programs in diabetes, thyroid, and pituitary disease; expanding multidisciplinary initiatives in bone health, obesity, and cancer-associated cachexia; and growing the portfolio of investigator-initiated and industry-sponsored clinical trials to accelerate the translation of scientific discovery into novel therapies.
“I am honored to lead the division and to build on the extraordinary foundation established by Dr. Goldberg and our faculty,” Goncalves says. “Our goal is to bring the very best science to our patients — through innovative clinical trials, expanding and refining our subspecialty programs, and fostering multidisciplinary collaboration that leads to new therapies and better outcomes while reinforcing NYU Langone’s position as a destination for complex endocrine care.”
