Dr. Ioannis Mavroudis is a Consultant Neurologist and Senior Lecturer in Neurology at the
University of Leeds, UK. He has extensive research, clinical, and medicolegal
experience in functional neurological disorders, traumatic brain injury (TBI),
and post-concussion syndrome (PCS). His contributions to these fields have been
invaluable, combining clinical acumen, academic prowess, and a deep
understanding of the underlying neuroanatomy and pathology. He has gained
recognition for his rigorous research in neuropathology, leveraging innovative
techniques such as the Golgi method to shed light on central nervous system
disorders. His list of published works spans a wide spectrum of topics,
including Alzheimer’s disease, dendritic alterations, and synaptic pathology. His
research has led to pivotal breakthroughs in understanding PCS and TBI. He has
an MD as well as degrees in criminology, forensic medicine, and computing. He
also has a Ph.D. in Neuromorphic Computing and Neuronal Morphology. He is a
credentialed consultant in concussion management and prevention. He is trained
in diagnostic neuropathology, neurophysiology, and psychiatry. He is currently
the lead of the Concussion Clinic and the co-director of the Functional
Neurological Disorders Clinic.
Dr. Ioana Miruna Balmus is a Researcher
in Biology and Molecular Genetics at the Department of Exact and Natural
Sciences, Institute of Interdisciplinary Research, Alexandru Ioan Cuza
University of Iasi, Romania. Her special research interests include aspects of
Neurophysiology and Neuroscience: animal models of neuropsychiatric disorders
and diseases with neurophysiological components, such as irritable bowel syndrome,
animal behavior and Molecular Biology. She is also interested in the molecular
aspects of oxidative homeostasis, particularly the effects of oxidative stress
on Neurophysiology. Other important aspects of her research include the effects
of genetic polymorphisms on Neurophysiology and the ways in which different
polymorphic variants of genes influence the phenotypic manifestations of
various diseases.
Prof. Alin
Ciobica is a Researcher at the Faculty of Biology, Alexandru Ioan Cuza Iasi
University in Romania. His main interests are directed towards the
understanding of the relevance of the oxidative stress status in most of the
neuropsychiatric disorders such as Alzheimers Disease, Parkinsons Disease,
Schizophrenia, Depression, Anxiety and Autism in both human patients and animal
models. He has 216 publications, with 3916 citations and an h-index of 32
(Scopus, 22 November 2023).
Vasile
Burlui is a Professor at Apollonia University in Iași, Romania. He studied
dentistry at the Faculty of Dentistry, Grigore T. Popa University of Medicine
and Pharmacy, where he obtained a Doctor of Medical Sciences in 1976. He
received the title of Professor in 1992 and worked in the Dental Prosthetics
Clinic at Grigore T. Popa University of Medicine and Pharmacy until 2009. He is
the Founder of the International Journal of Medical Dentistry (IJMD) and the
International Journal of Communication Research (IJCR) and is the
Editor-in-Chief of these publications. Since 2017, he has been the President of
Cartea Romaneasca Educational Publishing House. He is the President,
Vice-President, and a member of many national and international scientific,
academic, cultural, and social societies, such as the Academy of Medical
Sciences, the Romanian Academy of Scientists, the French National Academy of
Dental Surgery, the Royal College of Surgeons of England, the Academy of
Dentistry International, the Academy of Medical Sciences of the Republic of
Moldova, etc.
