M.D./Ph.D. Student
Enrique Torres Hernandez is a medical student in the (MD/PhD Program). He will enter into graduate school portion of the training program in 2024.
About Me
Enrique grew up near the beach in San Diego, California and then moved to the scorching desert of Phoenix, Arizona before heading to Texas for his undergraduate education. He attended St. Mary鈥檚 University in San Antonio and graduated with dual degrees in Mathematics, Biology, Economics, and Political Science. His passion for medicine and science was a late discovery while attending a summer research program in Philadelphia after his sophomore year. He fell in love with the city and culture of San Antonio and decided to stay while completing a three-year Neuroscience Research Fellowship studying Parkinson鈥檚 Disease here at 亚洲无码 before transitioning into the MD/PhD program. Enrique lives happily with his wife and two puppies, a Siberian Husky and German Shepherd.
Hobbies/Interests
Spending time with family/friends/puppies, exercising (boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, basketball, etc.), music (listening and playing piano/guitar), dancing, skateboarding, and exploring nature.
Research Topic
Neurodegenerative diseases, physiology, and metabolism.
Why I chose MD/PhD
Enrique chose to pursue an MD/PhD because he felt that an MSTP program would provide the most thorough training possible that would enable him to best connect his future practices of medicine and research.
Why I chose MD/PhD at 亚洲无码
Enrique chose STX-MSTP because of the community of students and faculty that make the program feel like a new family and home.
