Marvin Goldman (born May 2, 1928 in New York City) is an American radiation biologist,[1] known for "his highly significant contributions to the understanding of the effects of bone-seeking radionuclides—in carcinogenic characteristics of long-term strontium-90 exposures.
From 1949 to 1951 at the University of Maryland he was a graduate student supported by a fellowship to study aviation physiology.
In 1951, with two colleagues, he made the first detection of plutonium in lung tissue from animals that inhaled dust from U.S. nuclear bomb tests.
He worked on a long-term project to determine the effects on beagles of low-level, chronic exposure to strontium-90.
[4] In 1972 Goldman was one of five recipients of the Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award from the Atomic Energy Commission.
