STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Staten Island University Hospital has appointed Dr. Amin Mohamadi as its new vice president of clinical research, where he will strengthen the hospital’s research enterprise and mentor medical residents and fellows. Dr. Mohamadi, who joined the Northwell Health facility in 2023 as the associate director of research for the emergency medicine department, will be responsible for guiding innovative studies and driving strategic growth of academic research while continuing his roles as an attending physician and assistant professor at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. “Dr. Mohamadi’s distinguished background in both clinical practice and academic research makes him the ideal leader to advance our research mission,” said Meagan Sills, senior vice president and president of Staten Island University Hospital. “His commitment to evidence-based medicine will be invaluable as we continue to innovate and improve patient care for the community.” A physician-scientist with extensive training, Dr. Mohamadi completed postdoctoral fellowships at Harvard Medical School, studying clinical research in trauma and upper extremities at Massachusetts General Hospital and translational research on ultrasound applications at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He later completed his emergency medicine residency at the New York Medical College Met-Harlem program, where he also served as resident director of research. His innovation extends beyond research oversight. Dr. Mohamadi has developed novel ultrasound systems for spinal kinematics evaluation and whole-body vibration technology to reduce muscle atrophy. He also created large-scale data systems, including a nationwide joint replacement registry and a comprehensive cancer registry for a major tertiary hospital in Iran. With more than 70 peer-reviewed publications covering topics from musculoskeletal trauma to prolonged opioid use risk factors, Dr. Mohamadi brings substantial academic credentials to the position. “My enthusiasm for research has been a constant throughout my career, fueled by a passion for integrating evidence-based medicine into clinical practice,” said Dr. Mohamadi. “I am committed to mentoring the next generation of physicians and scientists and look forward to leading the SIUH team in its mission to improve health by identifying and mitigating predictors of adverse outcomes.” Dr. Mohamadi holds dual Doctor of Medicine and Master of Public Health degrees with a focus on ethics in biomedical research from Tehran University of Medical Sciences, as well as a certificate in applied biostatistics from the Harvard Clinical and Translational Science Center.
