The Peptide PhDs Podcast

Health EN ↓ 28 episodes

The Peptide PhDs — the show where two science geeks with PhDs turn the complex world of peptides into stories you’ll enjoy. Dr. Mark Bartlett sees peptides as the secret language immune cells use to gossip, negotiate, and sometimes throw shade. Dr. Alan Jones looks at muscle as an endocrine powerhouse, flexing out a vocabulary of peptides that strengthen body and brain. Each week we break down new discoveries from the lab, chat with guest experts, and unleash our cringy dad jokes. We hope it's a fun way to understand how these tiny molecules have a huge impact on health and wellness.
