About Rizwan Qaisar
I have a research interest in skeletal muscle ageing through my doctoral and post-doctoral experiences in highly specialized muscle labs in Sweden, Italy, and the USA. For the past three years, I have been investigating the mechanisms, biomarkers, and potential interventions of skeletal muscle detriment during mechanical unloading, ageing, and age-related diseases using clinical studies and experimental animal models.
