Dr. Samuels received his M.D. degree from the State University of New York Health Science Center at Brooklyn and completed his internship and residency training at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Dr. Samuels then completed a Cerebrovascular Disease Fellowship at Emory University and a second fellowship in Neurointensive Care Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. His major clinical and research interests lie in the areas of cerebral ischemia and hemorrhage, and specifically in the application of novel antithrombotic therapies in the treatment of intracranial arterial disease.
