About MED

Alexey is a fresh medical graduate from Tishreen University. He created MED Research Team because he believed that the Syrian medical students could take an active stand during the Syrian conflict through supporting research, education, and healthcare in the country.

On a personal level, Alexey is interested in the executive aspect of healthcare, healthcare systems strengthening, health economics, and eHealth. Now, Alexey is going to pursue a master’s degree in international health and tropical medicine, followed by an MBA at Oxford University in the capacity of the first Syrian Rhodes Scholar. When not advocating for healthcare or doing research, Alexey enjoys spending his free time running, doing nature sports, and travelling.

Joining MED Research Team has been both an educational and a creative experience for me. Under MED I’ve worked on publishing articles, collecting and archiving samples for the Biobank project and organizing poster sessions in my town’s medical conferences.

I’m from Latakia, Syria. Currently in my fifth year of studying medicine, aspiring to specialize in paediatrics. I’m an avid follower of psychology, literature and stand-up comedy. I strongly believe that passion and integrity in research are the low frequency sound that will travel a greater distance in the end.
