Karim Sorour, BA
Karim Sorour graduated with honors from Cornell University in May 2024 with a BA in Biology and Society and a minor in Business. He has contributed to diverse research initiatives, including exploring the psychological factors behind vaccine hesitancy at Cornell, interning in orthopedic trauma research at MGH, and previously acting as an intern for Dr. Donnino’s Mind Body Research Group. At Cornell, he facilitated the Speaking Groups Program to help international students improve their English. He also served as the Lead TA for Introductory Chemistry I and a TA for Biochemistry. Building on his dedication to education and communication, Karim co-founded Stem Sells Inc., a podcast discussing the intersection of medicine, technology, and public health with world-renowned professionals. He aspires to be a compassionate physician focused on improving health literacy in underserved communities.
Michael Simpson, MD
Dr. Simpson is an emergency physician and medical toxicologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He completed his residency at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and his medical toxicology fellowship at the Harvard Medical Toxicology Fellowship. His research interests include prediction and management of cardiovascular toxicity in acute drug overdose.
Max Kravitz, MD, MBA
Dr. Kravitz is a physician who specializes in emergency medicine. He received his BA, MD, and MBA degrees from Temple University. He completed his emergency medicine residency at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, serving as chief resident in his final year. His research interests are in biomarkers and therapeutics for sepsis, with a focus on the endothelial glycocalyx.
John Lee, MD, PhD
Dr. Lee is a Clinical Instructor at Harvard Medical School and an attending emergency physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. As a physician-engineer, he works at the intersection of clinical medicine, engineering, and technology. He studied electrical engineering at Cornell University and subsequently worked as an integrated circuit designer at Advanced Micro Devices before earning his MS and PhD in electrical engineering from MIT, where his research focused on the development of novel medical devices. He received his MD from the University of Chicago and completed his residency in emergency medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
Dr. Lee subsequently completed a T32 Research Fellowship in Resuscitation Science at the Center for Resuscitation Science, where he now serves as Director of Technology and AI. His research focuses on developing and applying artificial intelligence, advanced physiologic monitoring, and novel technologies to improve the recognition, monitoring, and care of critically ill patients.
