Maria L. Golson, Ph.D.

Assistant Professor of Medicine

Background

Dr. Maria Golson joined the Division of Endocrinology, Obesity and Metabolism in 2020. Her primary research interest is the intrinsic and extrinsic regulation of beta-cell function and insulin secretion.

Dr. Golson received her B.S. in Biology with a concentration in Genetics from Duke University. She then pursued her Ph.D. in Cell and Molecular Biology with a concentration in Genetics and Gene Regulation at the University of Pennsylvania. She completed her postdoctoral training at Vanderbilt University before starting her faculty career as a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Genetics at the University of Pennsylvania. Throughout her career, Dr. Golson has studied pancreatic endocrine cell development and function.

Patient Ratings & Comments

The Patient Rating score is an average of all responses to physician related questions on the national CG-CAHPS Medical Practice patient experience survey through Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score. Comments are also gathered from our CG-CAHPS Medical Practice Survey through Press Ganey and displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
