Hi there, I’m Mohammed Drad. A doctor who traded the stethoscope for a pipette to ask a different set of questions. Namely, what makes muscle break down, and how to stop it. And yes, in case you were wondering, my initials really do spell “MD,” some might call it destiny, I just call it convenient branding.
I created this site to share my thoughts, readings, and occasional aha moments at the intersection of bioscience, medicine, and healthcare. As an MD-PhD candidate I am studying how inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction drive skeletal muscle wasting.
I don’t only focus out on biomedical sciences, I also love to run and to write fiction (those two go together very well). So, here you might also find philosophy mixed with different themes, depends on what comes up during my runs!
