Youssef Farhat, MD, PhD, Protocol Place Author
Youssef Farhat, M.D./Ph.D. graduated from the Medical Scientist Training Program at the University of Rochester in 2017. He then went on to complete Pathology residency at the Medical College of Wisconsin, and is currently a Gastrointestinal Pathology fellow at the University of Utah.
As a graduate student, Youssef was a member of Professor Hani Awad’s lab in the Center for Musculoskeletal Research. His doctoral work aimed to identify molecular targets for the prevention of debilitating tendon adhesions.
In March of 2012, Youssef started the Protocol Place website and its accompanying YouTube Channel in order to convey some of the research tips and lab techniques that he has learned as a graduate research student in an easy and dynamic medium.

October, 2012 – Youssef received his Master’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering.
June, 2012 – Youssef received “Special Recognition for Excellent Work Developing a Laboratory for BME 262” from the department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Rochester. Youssef was the first student to teach a lab section for the University’s Cell and Tissue Engineering course. He designed activities to teach the basics of cell and tissue culture to ~30 BME students. He also coauthored the course’s first lab manuals and homework assignments along with the course instructor, Professor Hani Awad.
March, 2012 – Youssef initiated the Protocol Place in order to share his experience doing research in the biological sciences with others.
