# Mercy Mazurek Non-Resident Tutor Medicine ![Mercy headshot](/sites/g/files/omnuum5006/files/styles/hwp_4_5__480x600/public/2025-09/unnamed.jpeg?itok=_0vZm72z) email Hi Lowell! I’m Mercy, and I am excited to serve as a non-resident tutor in the house. I originally grew up in Mercerville, NJ for eight years before my family moved to Mesa, AZ, and later to Richmond, VA. In 2019, I graduated from the University of Virginia with a B.S. in Biochemistry. As an undergraduate, I conducted clinical research in the Neurology Department to develop an AI mobile application to detect stroke in low-resource settings as well as worked on subsampling PET imaging in a computational medical physics lab. After graduation, I spent three years at the Yale School of Medicine leading the first clinical deployment of a low-field, portable MRI brain scanner into intensive care units, operating rooms, and the emergency setting and worked closely with the startup Hyperfine Inc. Academically, I am passionate about neurosurgery, research, and the use of multimodality neuroimaging and increasing its accessibility to guide and improve neurosurgical procedures. In my personal life, I enjoy long-distance running (and would love to run a backyard ultra), hiking, backpacking trips, and visiting my four nephews in Arizona. It’s such a privilege to work closely with you all throughout the medical school application process and hear about your varied life experiences that have shaped your unique paths to medicine. - ## Interests [Medicine](/interests/medicine) - ## Role [Senior Common Room](/role/senior-common-room) [Non-Resident Tutors](/role/non-resident-tutors)
