Dr. Alden started his medical career in the U.K. and completed the majority of his clinical training at Georgetown, LSU and Tulane Universities; where he further developed his strong foundation in academic medicine and patient-centered integrative holistic medical care. He holds both MD and PhD degrees, with doctoral training in biochemistry, supporting a career that integrates scientific rigor with clinical practice.

Dr Alden continued his education at Princeton University, where is obtained his undergraduate degree in Biochemistry, and then received an Overseas research fellowship to do his Biochemistry PhD at the University of London, Royal London Hospital Medical College in conjunction with research at Oxford University.

This early biomedical research focused on the future development of immune adjuvants for the treatment of cancer; foundational work that anticipated immunologic therapies and medications that are now in clinical use today. These formative experiences established a lifelong interest in translational science and clinically meaningful innovation.

Dr. Alden completed his PhD at the University of London, while also enrolled as a preclinical medical student. Dr Alden later received an appointment as a Professor of Biochemistry teaching medical students.
