Area of Expertise
Dr David Goodman-Meza is a clinician-researcher dual trained in infectious diseases and addiction medicine, with expertise in the health and social impacts of drug use. His work focuses on improving outcomes for people who use drugs through clinical trials, health services research, and public health policy. He has particular expertise in harm reduction, opioid use disorder, stimulant use, and infectious complications such as HIV and hepatitis C. Dr Goodman also uses natural language processing and machine learning to enhance surveillance and care pathways for underserved populations. His research spans community, hospital, and street-based settings in Australia, the United States, and Mexico, and he actively partners with policymakers, peer-led organisations, and international public health bodies. As a bilingual researcher of Hispanic background, he brings cultural insight to cross-national collaborations in drug policy and overdose prevention.
