Daniel R. Goldstein, M.D., aged 56, died on May 21, 2024, with his family by his side after a long battle with a rare cancer. Dr. Goldstein graduated from St. George’s Hospital Medical School at the University of London, England. He undertook a medical residency at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland, and training in cardiovascular disease, heart failure, and transplantation at the University of Alabama, Birmingham (UAB). After completing his medical residency and research fellowship training, Dr. Goldstein joined Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, as an Assistant Professor in Internal Medicine. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 2007 and to Professor in 2013. In 2016, Dr. Goldstein joined the faculty at the University of Michigan as the endowed Eliza Maria Mosher Professor of Internal Medicine and a Research Professor in the Institute of Gerontology. In 2017, he became the Leader of the Michigan Biology of Cardiovascular Aging Program at the Frankel Cardiovascular Center. From 2021 to 2023, he served the field with distinction as the Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation. He was a member of the American Society of Clinical Investigation, a Paul Beeson Scholar in Aging Research, and a recipient of an Outstanding Investigator R35 Award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

A renowned physician-scientist and cardiovascular aging expert, Dr. Goldstein was continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health for over 20 years and published more than 150 peer-reviewed articles over the course of his 30-year career. Dr. Goldstein significantly influenced the medical profession through his leadership and research in the fields of cardiology and immunology, particularly focusing on the interplay between inflammation, aging, atherosclerosis, and organ transplantation.

Dr. Goldstein is remembered by loved ones for being a deeply principled man who believed in equity and the advancement of women in leadership positions in science. He wanted the scientific community to benefit from his experiences fighting metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma and published an editorial in the Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation in October 2023 outlining his treatments. In the last months of his life, he fought valiantly in a phase I clinical trial to advance treatment for adenoid cystic carcinoma.

Dr. Goldstein was best known for his excellence in teaching and mentoring physicians and scientists at all career stages. Friendly, curious, and always willing to talk or listen, he shared his wisdom and insights with students who were fortunate to benefit from his innovation, energy, and friendship.

He was a devoted and engaged father in the lives of his two children, encouraging their interests outside of school, whether it be tennis, guitar, or soccer. He shared with them his lifelong love of football (American soccer) and his team, Tottenham Hotspur FC; and he fully embodied their Latin motto: Audere est Facere, "To dare is to do."

Daniel Goldstein is survived by his wife of 24 years, Grace Jenq, M.D., and his children Ben and Mia. He is also survived by his mother, Henrietta Goldstein, of London, England; sisters, Alison Fredericks and Nathalie Fricker, and brother-in-law Colin Fricker ; plus six nieces and nephews (Alexander, Charlotte, Joshua, Sebastien, Zachary, and Emilie). In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to the Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma Foundation (https://accrf.org; P.O. Box 442, Needham, MA 02494) or to a new M-BOCA Leadership Development Fund to be established at the Frankel Cardiovascular Center.

Memorial services will be held at Beth Israel Congregation, 2000 Washtenaw Avenue, Ann Arbor, on Sunday, May 26, at 9:30am, to be followed immediately by a gathering in the Goldstein home (1044 Ferdon Road) at approximately 10:45am.

Daniel will be remembered as a true friend, a superb faculty member and mentor, a beloved son, husband, and father, and an inspiration to all. His memory will truly be for a blessing.
