EPISODE235 - Ritchie Shoemaker, MD -WDB Illness & Genomics

CIRS-WDB Illness Enters the Genomic Era This week we welcome back Ritchie Shoemaker, MD to discuss the latest research on what he and others call Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) from Water Damaged Buildings (WDB). This week we focus on the how the use of genomics is changing or should be changing the medical community. Dr. Shoemaker will give us a background on the issue and review some presentations from the 6th International Scientific Conference on Bioaerosols, Fungi, Bacteria, Mycotoxins in Indoor and Outdoor Environments and Human Health. Dr. Shoemaker and his colleague Jimmy Ryan, PhD have been doing some fascinating research focused on how genomics data can be used to help understand the mechanisms behind CIRS-WDB, lyme disease and other medical maladies. Join us Friday at noon to LEARN MORE this week on IAQ Radio.
