Mostafa graduated with a B.S.E in Biomedical Engineering and Neuroscience from Tulane University, then received an MPhil in Engineering from the University of Cambridge, before starting at Emory/Georgia Tech in the MD/PhD program. He is interested in tissue engineering and neural organoids to develop more advanced models of neurodevelopment and disease. In his spare time, Mostafa enjoys rock climbing, playing soccer, cooking, and having coffee or tea. His advice for incoming graduate students is to stay curious—it’s the best way to keep learning and finding cool stuff you didn’t even know you were looking for.
