Hi, I’m Fadi Samaan, a resident physician-scientist with an M.D. and a Master of Science in Clinical Research. I work at the intersection of medicine, research, and data analytics, with a focus on turning complex clinical questions into evidence that actually changes how we care for patients.

Dr. Samaan’s research spans the full spectrum, from basic science and translational research to drug development and patient outcomes studies. This breadth gives him a unique perspective on how discoveries move from the bench to the bedside, and where gaps in evidence tend to emerge along the way.

On the analytics side, Dr. Samaan specializes in taking messy, real-world clinical data and building the analytical frameworks needed to make sense of it - whether for a research study, a quality improvement initiative, or a strategic decision. He values rigor as much as making findings accessible to the people who need to act on them.
