Open routes into meaningful research, regardless of location, connections or prior experience.
Mentorship & growth
Personal guidance, practical training and clear pathways from first steps to authorship.
Collaboration & community
Multi‑center teams, transparent roles and shared credit for shared work.
Our History
MedNex is a global research and mentorship platform that has supported over 4,000 students and doctors across more than 55 countries. We’ve launched multicenter national studies, international projects, and high-impact systematic reviews and meta analyses, with many mentees achieving first-time authorship on peer-reviewed publications. Founded by Imperial College London Alumni and academics at the Mayo Clinic and the National Heart & Lung Institute, MedNex was created to make research accessible, regardless of background or connections. Everything we offer is free, including mentorship, project support, and authorship opportunities
Our Mission
At MedNex, our mission is simple: make research accessible to every aspiring clinician, regardless of experience or connections. We believe that innovation thrives when opportunity is open to all, so we’ve built a platform where passion, curiosity, and collaboration come before privilege.
Our Team
MedNex was founded by Dr. Sammy Arab, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Mayo Clinic, and Karanjot Chhatwal, a medical student and research fellow at Imperial College London. Having experienced the barriers to research first-hand, they asked a bold question: “What if research wasn’t about who you knew, but what you could do?” MedNex is the answer to that question.
