Educational Seminars
Educational Seminars are generally more targeted towards our patient community but cover topics that clinicians and researchers may find of interest. Clinicians and researchers are welcome to attend and apply to speak.
As always, attendance is open to all!
Research Roundtable
In this Research Roundtable Jeff Wood, Michael VanElzakker and Dr. Brayden P Yellman will discuss The Mechanical Basis Model, specifically the Brain Stem Deformation and its potential to understanding ME/CFS.
Jeff Wood is on the Neuro Research Team at Mt. Sinai. He solved his own case of post-viral ME/CFS and then built a new model of the pathophysiology of ME/CFS, which he calls “Mechanical Basis”.
You can learn more about Jeff and his work on his website and Twitter account.
Michael VanElzakker, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Neurotherapeutics at Harvard University and a neuroimmunologist with expertise in persistent central nervous system consequences. Mike uses functional and structural imaging techniques to identify abnormal patterns in brain inflammation and metabolism in patients with infection-associated chronic disease. You can check his publications here.
Brayden P Yellman, MD, is a board-certified physician in internal medicine and rheumatology at Bateman Horne Center. Dr. Yellman meticulously evaluates complicated patients, many of whom are in the early stages of ME/CFS or FM, and each requiring 4-6 hours of intense initial evaluation with subsequent follow-up.
