Whittemore Peterson Institute

I am thrilled to announce that the Whittermore Peterson Institute for Neuro Immune Disease has just launched their website!
According to their publication, “The Whittemore Peterson Institute’s mission is to facilitate and advance patient care, research the patho-physiology and develop therapeutics, diagnostics and prevention strategies for a spectrum of neuro-immune diseases.”

They are facilitaing research on the pathophysiology of neuro-immune diseases such as ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, atypical MS, and autism, seeking to develop therapeutics, diagnostics and prevention strategies for this spectrum of diseases, and to advance and support medical education and physician training. "The Whittemore Peterson Institute for Neuro Immune Disease exists to bring discovery, knowledge, and effective treatments to patients with illnesses that are caused by acquired dysregulation of both the immune system and the nervous system, often resulting in life long disease and disability.
"Our first goal is to work towards developing a better understanding of the natural history of these diseases, thereby diagnosing and treating patients accurately and efficiently. Generating and sustaining a blood and tissue repository and a clinical database for ME/CFS and ultimately for other neuroimmune diseases is a primary focus of the Institute."

I am thrilled to watch this world-class research unfolding right in my own city and look forward to being a patient participant in their research studies!
