Longevity
The mitochondria question: energy, aging, and the ceiling of a human life.
Why the powerhouse of the cell keeps returning to the center of every serious longevity conversation — and where the science actually stands.

01 / About Me
A biotech background,
a wandering curiosity.
I was born and raised in the UAE and moved to the US in 2017 to pursue a degree in Biotech. I’ve worked in different areas of the field like gene editing, cell therapy and Integrated Biologics. Most of my roles have centered around pharma manufacturing but I’m trying to branch out. Outside of work, I enjoy the outdoors and picking up new hobbies (sorry for taking so long to respond).

05 / Frequently Asked Questions
Questions
worth answering.
I focus on biotechnology through a personal lens: longevity, population genetics, mitochondria, gene editing, cell therapy, and integrated biologics. I also leave room for emerging science and curiosity-driven notes that don't fit neatly into one category.
I was born and raised in the UAE, then moved to the US in 2017 to study biotechnology. Since then, I've worked across gene editing, cell therapy, and integrated biologics, primarily in pharma manufacturing roles.
Right now I'm especially interested in how mitochondrial biology intersects with aging, the tools reshaping population genetics, and how biomanufacturing can become more agile and accessible.
Absolutely. I treat this site as a living research journal and a way to meet other curious people. If you have a paper, idea, or project in biotech worth discussing, reach out through the contact form below.
moko.bio is my personal digital identity — a home for my research writing, portfolio, and the places I show up online. It's designed to evolve as my interests and projects do.
