About Quentin Geczy

Quentin Geczy is based in London. He began his educational journey at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, before moving on to the University of Sydney Medical School, where he spent two years. He plans to continue his medical studies closer to home in Europe. Alongside his medical career, he is pursuing entrepreneurial endeavors in consulting and finance, particularly focusing on healthcare.

Quentin has remained actively involved in health and education throughout his medical school application process. He runs a successful private education business, where he helps students in STEM subjects and provides guidance through the university admissions process. He is also working on an online platform that offers educational courses and materials to prepare students for UK high school exams (GCSEs, A-Levels), medical exams (BMAT, UCAT, GAMSAT, MCAT), and the SAT.

After completing his high school education in Australia, he moved to the United States in 2016 to pursue his interests in science and economics. At Yale University, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in Molecular Cellular Development Biology (MCDB) and Economics. In Economics, he studied macro and microeconomics, finance, and accounting. He also gained valuable experience in data analysis, working with large datasets using R and applying theoretical models to solve complex qualitative and quantitative problems. This has sharpened his ability to think critically about complex systems and better understand the underlying mechanics of resource management, decision-making, and human behavior.

His studies in MCDB expanded upon his pre-med coursework and led to the completion of a thesis titled “Psychedelic Renaissance in Psychiatry.” This research examined the action of the 5-HT2A receptor and how its interaction with serotonergic psychedelics can stimulate neuroplasticity. The findings are helping to shape new approaches in the treatment of mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, addiction, and PTSD.

Quentin’s multidisciplinary education in Economics and MCDB has given him a unique skill set. It has given him the tools to approach complex challenges in healthcare from multiple perspectives, combining evidence-based reasoning with analytical rigor. His diverse academic background has also strengthened his ability to communicate complex concepts effectively.

In addition to his academic achievements, Quentin excelled as a Division I Varsity Athlete, earning recognition as the Lightweight Crew Eastern Sprints Champion. He also placed second at the USA U23 Lightweight Men’s Quad National Team Selection Regatta. These accomplishments reflect his ability to balance a demanding academic schedule with the intense training required for elite athletic competition. It also taught him valuable discipline, teamwork, resilience, and leadership lessons.
