About Me

I’m Misagh, a medical doctor with three years of clinical experience treating patients in outpatient and hospital settings. I graduated in 2022 from Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Iran’s second-ranked university. Since 2019, I’ve worked on clinical research and surgical projects across fields such as neuroscience and orthopedics, as well as broader areas like trauma, internal medicine, and other surgical specialties. I’ve published in prestigious journals—most notably Arthroscopy and JBJS—and review for Arthroscopy. I’ve presented at the Leiden International Medical Student Congress in the Netherlands and the International Neuromodulation Society in Canada. Currently based in Canada on a work permit, I collaborate remotely with institutions like Marshall University. My skillset includes scientific writing, data analysis (SPSS, Stata), and laboratory/animal skills. I’m passionate about pursuing postdoctoral opportunities and am open to expanding into diverse fields such as AI—whether that means learning Python or other skills as needed!
