Ashton Rosenbloom is currently in his fourth year of medical school at The American Medical Program at Tel Aviv University. Before moving to Israel to pursue his medical education, Ashton attended UC Berkeley, where he studied molecular and cell biology, conducted laboratory research in exercise physiology, and was heavily involved in his Hillel community. While applying to medical school, Ashton worked in clinical research at Saint John’s Cancer Institute in Santa Monica, where he continued to feed his interests in translational research and clinical practice.
After completing his first three years of medical school in Tel Aviv, Ashton moved to Orange County to conduct a research fellowship at UC Irvine’s Center for Tissue Engineering. Continuing to feed his passion for translational research, Ashton contributed to projects involving regenerative cell therapies related to wound healing, fat graft survival, cartilage regeneration, and Dupuytren’s contracture. After a productive year in the lab, Ashton continued on to his clinical rotations in the US while applying for residency. Now, Ashton is completing his final clinical rotations in Tel Aviv and will find out his residency placement in March.
