About Me
Rollie Hampton is an MD/PhD Candidate at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He is a graduate of the Honors Program in Biological Sciences at Cornell University where he earned his B.A. and concentrated in Human Nutrition. At Cornell, Rollie pursued his thesis project in the lab of Dr. Manuel Aregullin where he investigated suspected nootropic plants in an attempt to discover novel compounds useful in the development of improved therapies for Alzheimer’s Disease. After his time at Cornell, Rollie was awarded a position in the post baccalaureate research education program (PREP) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, which is supported by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS). After spending two years in the PREP program, Rollie matriculated into Mount Sinai’s Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) where he receives training that will allow him to become a successful physician scientist.
