Smolen, Head of the Division of Rheumatology at MedUni Vienna and the third most quoted
rheumatology expert, and researchers from the USA, Argentina, Australia, the UK and China, were able to demonstrate that the combination of methotrexate / tofacitinib produced equally effective results as the current standard combination of methotrexate / adalimumab.
Such personal attention for your child from
expert orthopaedic specialists — and doctors in other specialties, such as Psychiatry, Pain Management, Neurology and
Rheumatology, to name a few — is found at few major medical centers in the United States.
There are opportunities to work closely with dedicated musculoskeletal imaging basic scientists, clinician scientists from radiology, orthopaedic surgery and
rheumatology, as well as a large group of diverse MR physicists, pulse sequence programmers and image reconstruction
experts (e.g., compressed sensing), and radiofrequency coil engineers who work at the Center for Biomedical Imaging (CBI) and the Center for Advanced Imaging Innovation and Research (CAI2R) at NYULMC.
He taught me a lot about evolutionary medicine and nutrition in general, opened many doors and introduced me (directly and indirectly) to various players in this field, such as Dr. Boyd Eaton (one of the fathers of evolutionary nutrition), Maelán Fontes from Spain (a current research colleague and close friend), Alejandro Lucia (a Professor and a top researcher in exercise physiology from Spain, with whom I am collaborating), Ben Balzer from Australia (a physician and one of the best minds in evolutionary medicine), Robb Wolf from the US (a biochemist and the best «biohackers I know»), Óscar Picazo and Fernando Mata from Spain (close friends who are working with me at NutriScience), David Furman from Argentina (a top immunologist and
expert in chronic inflammation working at Stanford University, with whom I am collaborating), Stephan Guyenet from the US (one of my main references in the obesity field), Lynda Frassetto and Anthony Sebastian (both nephrologists at the University of California San Francisco and
experts in acid - base balance), Michael Crawford from the UK (a world renowned
expert in DHA and Director of the Institute of Brain Chemistry and Human Nutrition, at the Imperial College London), Marcelo Rogero (a great researcher and Professor of Nutrigenomics at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil), Sérgio Veloso (a cell biologist from Portugal currently working with me, who has one of the best health blogs I know), Filomena Trindade (a Portuguese physician based in the US who is an
expert in functional medicine), Remko Kuipers and Martine Luxwolda (both physicians from the Netherlands, who conducted field research on traditional populations in Tanzania), Gabriel de Carvalho (a pharmacist and renowned nutritionist from Brazil), Alex Vasquez (a physician from the US, who is an
expert in functional medicine and
Rheumatology), Bodo Melnik (a Professor of Dermatology and
expert in Molecular Biology from Germany, with whom I have published papers on milk and mTOR signaling), Johan Frostegård from Sweden (a rheumatologist and Professor at Karolinska Institutet, who has been a pioneer on establishing the role of the immune system in cardiovascular disease), Frits Muskiet (a biochemist and Professor of Pathophysiology from the Netherlands, who, thanks to his incredible encyclopedic knowledge and open - mind, continuously teaches me more than I could imagine and who I consider a mentor), and the Swedish researchers Staffan Lindeberg, Tommy Jönsson and Yvonne Granfeldt, who became close friends and mentors.
