Dr. Ido Goldstein, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Biochemistry, Food Science and Nutrition, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His laboratory investigates how chromatin and transcription factors reprogram hepatic gene expression during nutritional transitions, especially fasting, to sustain energy homeostasis. Using genomics, metabolic phenotyping, and mechanistic molecular biology, he and his team study enhancer dynamics, nuclear receptors, transcription factor cooperation, and signal integration by hormones such as glucagon and glucocorticoids. Goldstein’s group has uncovered principles including cooperative hormone-driven regulation of gluconeogenic pathways, “assisted loading” at enhancers, transcriptional cascades that amplify fasting programs, and enhancer “memory” that sensitizes ketogenesis after repeated fasting.
