Dr. Andreas M. Kogelnik, is the Founding Director of the Open Medicine
Institute, a collaborative, community-based translational research institute
dedicated to personalized medicine
with a human touch while using the latest advances in medicine, informatics,
genomics, and biotechnology.
The Institute works closely with the Open Medicine Clinic and other clinics to
conduct research and apply new knowledge back into clinical practice.
Dr. Kogelnik received his M.D. from Emory University School of
Medicine in Atlanta and his Ph.D. in bioengineering/bioinformatics from the Georgia Institute
of Technology. Subsequently, he completed is residency in Internal Medicine and
a Fellowship in Infectious Diseases at Stanford University and its affiliated
hospitals.
Following his clinical training, he remained at Stanford
with NIH funding to engage in post-doctoral research in microbiology, immunology
and bioinformatics with Dr. Ellen Jo Baron and Dr. Stanley Falkow, where he
explored host-response profiles in severely ill patients.
Together with Dr.
José Montoya, he was instrumental in the conception, design, and execution of
the EVOLVE study - a placebo-controlled, double-blind study of a subset of
chronic fatigue syndrome patients with evidence of viral infection.
Dr. Kogelnik worked with Dr. Atul Butte in translational informatics to
determine patterns that indicated a high risk for adverse events in paediatric
patients at Lucille Packard Children's Hospital.
He is the
Medical Director of the Open Medicine Clinic - a community-based research clinic
focussed on chronic infectious diseases, neuroimmune disease, and immunology.
Dr. Kogelnik has published numerous scientific papers and book chapters, is an
Editor of Computers in Medicine and Biology, and is a Consulting Assistant
Professor at Stanford University.
With the Open Medicine Institute, he has led
the formation of CFS and Lyme Registries and Biobanks as well as creating an
infrastructure for providers to collect better data and implement clinical
trials across a network of sites.
