Episode 101: Using Computational Biology to Treat Neuroinflammation

Get to know a medical approach that allows patients to be evaluated outside their bodies.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Travis Craddock, who builds computer models of the brain and discusses how computational biology can help treat neuroinflammation. 

This approach utilizes mathematical equations and computer algorithms to simulate and describe how the brain functions with different interventions.

In treating neuroinflammation in conditions such as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS), Gulf War Illness (GWI), and Parkinson's disease, Dr. Craddock particularly looks at how the immune system works in the brain and how individual cells communicate and initiate inflammatory processes using specific rules and algorithms.

While researchers and physicians work tirelessly to improve chronic illness treatment, don’t be afraid to seek support for your health.
