Ph.D. Candidate, NYMC
Samuel Fatehi
Samuel Fatehi first came to NYMC pursuing a master's degree in the interdisciplinary two-year (BMS) Master's Program. Graduating in May 2023, he earned acceptance to NYMC's School of Medicine.
Growing up with a passion for medicine, Fatehi was inspired by his mother's oncology work and his family's experience with cardiac and vascular diseases. He earned his undergraduate degree in biology at Stony Brook University, then attended NYMC's GSBMS to pursue a master's degree in biomedical science and conduct research in Dr. Gupte's lab, focusing on G6PD mutations and their impact on cardiovascular health. Fatehi aims to continue his research in pursuit of an M.D.-Ph.D..
