PORTfolio: Stories, Science and Success - Episode 1: 100% Scientist, 100% Human – Dr. Ali Jawaid’s Journey Across Continents and Disciplines

In the very first episode of PORTfolio: Stories, Science and Success, host Katarzyna Terejko sits down with Dr. Ali Jawaid, a physician-scientist whose career spans Pakistan, the United States, and Europe. Originally trained as a medical doctor, Ali transitioned into neuroscience research, earning his MD-PhD at ETH Zurich.

Today, he leads research group at Łukasiewicz — PORT in two fields: the biological transmission of trauma across generations and the unexpected role of metabolism in neurodegenerative diseases like ALS and FTLD. With over 90 publications and close to 5,000 citations, Dr. Jawaid shares insights from his scientific journey — and his philosophy of being “100% Scientist, 100% Human.”

PORTfolio: Stories, Science and Success is a podcast by Łukasiewicz – PORT where we explore inspiring stories, research, and real-world impact. Join us as we talk with scientists, innovators, and experts about their work, challenges, successes, and how they balance scientific careers with life outside the lab.
