What makes a graduate program feel like home? For Gauri Saxena and Hamza Ahmed, it’s the people.

Gauri, a second-year PhD student in Health Science Engineering, and Hamza, a third-year MD-PhD student, reflect on the open and inclusive community they found at Mount Sinai and the people who have helped them grow along the way.

For Gauri, the next chapter is about deepening her curiosity and growing as a scientist. For Hamza, it’s about experiencing the connection between research and patient care and seeing physician-scientists bring discoveries from bench to bedside.

Lauren Lazaro already knew what made Mount Sinai special to her. After working here for a year, she had seen firsthand the breadth of research and the collaboration among faculty and clinicians, inspiring her to continue her journey here as a PhD student.

Now a first-year student in the Clinical Research program, Lauren is building on her experience as a biostatistician with the Institute for Translational Epidemiology, where she works on genomic research focused on the molecular characteristics of disease.

As she begins this next chapter, Lauren looks forward to expanding her skill set, learning from the Mount Sinai community, and discovering something new every day.

For Cole Turner, choosing Mount Sinai for his PhD came down to one thing: finding a place where he felt a true sense of belonging.

As he begins his PhD in Biomedical Sciences, Cole reflects on the community and camaraderie that stood out to him throughout the interview process, and why finding the right environment for both personal and professional growth mattered to his decision.

Cole shares what he hopes prospective students will consider when choosing where to pursue their graduate training: not only the science and opportunities, but also whether you can see yourself finding a community and a place to call home.
