Facebook and YouTube Live with Dr. Amir Minerbi
RSDSA is hosting a free livestream with Dr. Amir Minerbi on Thursday, July 10th at Noon Eastern on facebook.com/rsdsa and youtube.com/@RSDSA from your computer, tablet, or phone.
Back in May, we shared an update on McGill University researchers, in collaboration with colleagues in Israel and Ireland, who developed AI technology that can detect patterns in gut bacteria to identify CRPS with remarkable accuracy, potentially transforming how CRPS is diagnosed and treated. Dr. Minerbi was one of the physicians that worked on the study.
Dr. Amir Minerbi is the Director of the Rambam Institute for Pain Medicine and a Senior Lecturer at the Ruth & Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine, Technion–Israel Institute of Technology.
He earned his MD-PhD from Technion’s combined program in 2009. Following this, he completed dual residency training in Family Medicine and Pain Medicine at the Rambam Institute for Pain Medicine. From 2017 to 2019, Dr. Minerbi pursued a clinical research fellowship at the Alan Edwards Pain Management Unit, McGill University Health Centre in Montreal, Canada.
Dr. Minerbi’s research centers on the role of the gut microbiome in chronic pain. His laboratory investigates the microbial composition associated with various pain conditions, explores the mechanisms through which gut bacteria influence pain pathways, and develops clinical applications for microbiome-based diagnostics and therapeutics. The Minerbi Lab is internationally recognized as a pioneer in clinical research targeting the gut microbiome as a novel therapeutic avenue for chronic pain.
