Jack C. Drda (He/Him)

I met my other hero! Dr. Steven Rosenberg pioneered the first immunotherapies. I read his “Transformed Cell” book as a kid—it inspired to me pursue a MD/PhD. I am particularly interested in immunotherapy for solid tumors like HCC! This a major hurtle that I am truly excited by!

Today in medical school, I spotted the work of an Engevik! You can’t talk about GI without the parietal cell @AmyEngevik @micromindy @thekengevik

New paper! Liver transplant patient was removed from waitlist due to positive blood alcohol. They said they didn’t drink—No one believed it. BUT we believed it! They had a gut infection that produced its own alcohol. Got a liver & new chance at life! mdpi.com/3222192

@Rachelina16 😂😂double rare!

@JackCDrda Not just ultra rare but ultra, ultra rare?! 💙💚🩵💜🧬🔬🦠🔥

I scraped through with D&D Grades in Science GCSE, I now engage in discussions about Cholesterol Biosynthesis thanks to Cholesterol Inspector Drda! Do I understand it? No, but I’m learning, slowly 😆 It’s refreshing for a researcher and advocate to collaborate! 💚🩵💙💜

Why is reviewer 3 always so painfully accurate with their peer review. How do they know all of my academic insecurities?!?

What can I say, I love studying cholesterol biosynthesis 😂

@Rachelina16 Hahaha!!! I am cholesterol Inspector!

When .@JackCDrda sends you a video showing his MKD research laid out in front of him like he’s an Inspector 🤣 I’m renaming him… “Cholesterol Inspector Drda” 💜💙🩵💚 What a wonderful way of engaging with patients!

@AmyEngevik @AGA_Gastro Wonderful work as always, Amy

A great #FluorescenceFriday for the lab to see our images on the cover of January's @AGA_Gastro Gastroenterology journal. So happy to see the paper out.

@MeganDuffyPhD You account has made me laugh so much during the difficult times. Last night I was holding onto your posts like a life raft

@MeganDuffyPhD Honestly valid

@MeganDuffyPhD We don’t talk about the night of 2016 in my household. It is like a fever dream…

@MeganDuffyPhD Once PA was called in 2020, it was over. Omg I did not get sleep until then 🫠

@MeganDuffyPhD I live in Pennsylvania and honestly… VALID
