Michael Gorin, MD

Dr. Michael Gorin is an associate professor of urology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Dr. Gorin is widely recognized for his work studying the use of molecular imaging in the diagnosis and management of urologic malignancies. To his credit, Dr. Gorin was part of the first clinical team to study PSMA-targeted PET imaging of prostate cancer with PYLARIFY (18F-DCFPyL). Additionally, he played an integral role in the design and conduct of two multicenter clinical trials that led to the approval of this novel PET radiotracer by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Since its approval in May 2021, PYLARIFY has been used to image over 100,000 men with prostate cancer. Dr. Gorin has also made significant contributions to the field of urology through his research on prostate cancer screening, active surveillance, and focal therapy. More recently, Dr. Gorin’s academic focus has shifted towards the implementation of artificial intelligence tools to improve the care of urologic patients. This work includes developing computer vision tools to augment the diagnostic capabilities of existing radiology techniques. Additionally, he has developed expertise working with voice and text-based large language models. He has developed a variety of applications aimed at improving medical education, patient care, and physician efficiency. To date, Dr. Gorin has published over 300 scholarly articles in the medical literature. Additionally, he has contributed to multiple medical textbooks, including chapters in Campbell-Walsh-Wein Urology, The 5-Minute Urology Consult, and Gray's Anatomy. In July 2022, Dr. Gorin was named Editor-in-Chief of BJUI Compass, the open-access companion journal to the British Journal of Urology International. Dr. Gorin also serves on the editorial boards of several other journals including Urologic Oncology and the World Journal of Urology. Dr. Gorin has received numerous honors and awards for his scholarly work, including the Drs. Carl and Barbara Alving Endowed Award for Outstanding Biomedical Research from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and the William F. Rienhoff, Jr., M.D. Scholar Award from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Dr. Gorin attended college at the University of Michigan, earning a Bachelor of Science in Cellular and Molecular Biology. He then attended medical school at the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, where he graduated as an inductee to the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. Following medical school, Dr. Gorin completed a general surgery internship, urology residency, and fellowship in endoscopic and minimally invasive urology at the world-renowned James Buchanan Brady Urological Institute at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
