Dr. Goodman has spent several years as a faculty member at medical schools such as the New Jersey Medical School and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He was also co-director at the University Institute for the Surgery of Morbid Obesity. He became part of the staff at Beth Israel Medical Center in January 2004. Although his past research was mostly focused on cellular immunology, his more recent laboratory work has concentrated on the mechanisms of gene expression found in fat cells before and after gastric bypass surgery.
