Building at the edge of medicine, design, and AI.
My name is Eric Markarian and I’m a first-year medical student at Harvard Medical School. I graduated from Stanford in June 2026, where I studied Bioengineering and Design. My research focuses on neurotechnology and AI-driven digital health tools and I’ve co-founded a clinical AI startup backed by Stanford Biodesign. I’m currently exploring innovation and venture capital as a medical student.
I grew up in Los Angeles, I’m obsessed with languages (currently learning my fifth!), and am usually either building something or trying out a new recipe.
Some things I've built.
