I've been asked to start a Harvard-wide Program in Placebo Studies which will be hosted at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. It will do basic, clinical and social science research as well as scholarly work in placebo studies. We are situated in all the major teaching hospitals at Harvard and have already drawn commitments from over 20 faculty. Anne Harrington will be joining us. We recently published an physiological study of placebo in the New England Journal of Medicine and a theoretical paper in Philosophic Transactions of the Roy Soc B. (I'm attaching fyi). We anticipate making some major breakthroughs in genetic of placebo effects (we're submitting our findings in the next days) and have major studies in the pipeline. We're hoping that this program will establish Placebo Studies as a important component of medical research internationally. Here is our new website: www.programinplacebostudies.org. Let me know if this is of any interest for you. Sincerely, Ted Ted J.
