About

Practical experience, a local focus and a national outlook

"Public service begins with presence: being visible, listening properly, and delivering results that actually matter to residents."

Marc is the Conservative Councillor for Norland Ward in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. As part of his role on the Council, Marc sits on the Adult Social Care and Health Select Committee, the Planning Committee and the Planning Applications Committee, and is a trustee of Citizens Advice Kensington and Chelsea. He is actively involved in several residents' associations across Kensington. Marc came to public service via twenty years in science and industry.

Whilst working in healthcare, he led the development of the first AI diagnostic for prostate cancer to be cleared by the FDA. It is now used in clinics across the US, UK and Europe and has supported the diagnosis of thousands of patients. He also ran a portfolio of CE-marked AI products in prostate, breast and colorectal cancer. Marc continues to work on AI diagnostics for cancer treatments alongside his work in precision medicine and biomarker strategy.

His career began in research on Batten disease, a fatal childhood illness, and has since covered Alzheimer's, cancer, liver disease and neuroscience. He holds a PhD in Clinical Neuroscience from Imperial College London, has co-authored 25+ peer-reviewed publications and a patent, and worked with the Cabinet Office's Open Innovation Team alongside the Department of Health, the Department for Education and the Metropolitan Police.

Marc is a staunch supporter of small business. He backs and invests in British science and technology founders and has helped them raise millions in seed and Series A funding. He has watched too many good British inventions win approval and scale up abroad. Making Britain a place where ideas are built, adopted and paid for is the thread that runs through his politics.

Marc is married and lives in London. He was born to British and Canadian parents and speaks French, German and Italian. His grandparents survived Auschwitz. His family's history is why he takes freedom and democracy seriously, and why he believes it matters who ends up in public life. He is a keen reader of Roman history, and when work allows he heads to Cornwall to spend the weekend on the water.

A former model and TV presenter, he has volunteered with Dementia UK and Alzheimer's Research UK, and mentors young people through his company's STEM programme. He writes for ConservativeHome and CapX on enforcement and health policy, and is on the Conservative Party's Approved List of parliamentary candidates.

Policy Focus

The issues that define the next decade

Marc Goldfinger speaking at a conference on NHS and life sciences policy
01
Backing Business, Balancing the Books
Small businesses are being squeezed by rates, employment costs and a tax system that changes every eighteen months. Marc wants lower, simpler, predictable taxes and a state that lives within its means, with welfare reformed so that work always pays.

02
A More Productive, Local NHS
The NHS does not need another reorganisation or another blank cheque. It needs to adopt proven technology faster, diagnose earlier and move care closer to the people who use it.

03
Innovation-Led Growth
Britain has the best universities and research in the world, then watches its inventions scale up abroad. Marc wants Britain to be the place where good ideas are built, funded, adopted and paid for.

04
AI and the Future of Public Services
Marc led the development of the first FDA-cleared AI diagnostic for prostate cancer. He wants AI adopted across public services with rules that are strict enough to protect people and clear enough to let good tools through.

05
Transport and Local Infrastructure
Decisions about Norland's roads and buses are too often made elsewhere and imposed on residents. Marc is campaigning on traffic displacement, Central Line noise and lost bus routes, and wants growth matched by the infrastructure to support it.

06
Safer Streets, Cleaner Streets
Visible order on an ordinary street is where trust in local government is won or lost. Marc co-proposed tougher enforcement on e-bikes and is campaigning for visible policing, cleaner streets and consistent penalties for fly-tipping.
