A big HOWDY to the Class of 2030! 👍

Mehri Mobaraki-Omoumi, MD, PhD, approaches healthcare through both clinical and engineering perspectives. After years of caring for patients with neurological and musculoskeletal conditions, she recognized that many challenges in rehabilitation require more than traditional medicine alone.

Now, Mobaraki-Omoumi is helping prepare future physicianeers to think critically about patient care, innovation and problem-solving in healthcare.

Professor Moriya Tsuji, MD, PhD, is pursuing a different approach to the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. One that focuses on strengthening the body’s immune response rather than targeting a single pathogen.

Backed by decades of research in immunology and translational science, Tsuji sees an opportunity to continue advancing this work in the collaborative, interdisciplinary environment that defines EnMed.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! 🎓
We can't wait to see where your journey takes you next!

From engineer and U.S. Army Reserve officer to future orthopedic surgeon, Anthony Eshareturi took a nontraditional path to medicine — one shaped by service, resilience and family.

At the Texas A&M School of Engineering Medicine (EnMed), he combined engineering and patient care while helping develop technology to improve surgical planning — all while raising four children during medical school.

Now, he’s preparing to begin his orthopedic surgery residency at Houston Methodist Hospital.
