LONDON - ncarol.com -- I recently had the pleasure of talking with Raphael E. Cuomo, PhD from the University of California, San Diego.

From an early age, Dr. Cuomo displayed a natural talent for analytical thinking and leadership. He attended St. Paul the Apostle School before enrolling at Loyola High School of Los Angeles, where he graduated with honors in 2007 and earned the prestigious Eagle Scout Award. These early experiences, including volunteer work in local hospitals, inspired his commitment to improving healthcare systems.
Dr. Cuomo earned a degree in Biology from Lafayette College, where he conducted environmental research funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. During his undergraduate years, he volunteered in emergency rooms and coordinated vaccination clinics during the H1N1 pandemic.
