68. New chronic Lyme research from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine

Hello, and welcome to season six of Looking at Lyme! We’re thrilled to be kicking off this season talking with contributors of an important new research report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, which studied current gaps in research and treatments for Lyme Infection-Associated Chronic Illnesses.

Dr. Kent Kester is board certified in both internal medicine and infectious diseases, is the chair of the publication committee, and is the vice chair of the National Academy of Medicine Forum on Microbial Threats. During his 24-year career in the U.S. Army, Kent led multiple research platforms at the biggest and most diverse lab with the Department of Defense, with a significant emphasis on emerging infectious diseases, and later led that institution as its commander.

Nicole Malachowski is a retired air force fighter pilot, National Women's Hall of Famer, Keynote speaker, and Tick Borne Illness Patient Advocate. She lives and works in Colorado and she represents the patient perspective on the NASEM committee that produced this important new research.

Their new publication is called “Charting a Path Toward New Treatments for Lyme Infection-Associated Chronic Illness”. (https://doi.org/10.17226/28578) We spoke with these two about their experiences putting together this report, and what impact they hope it will have moving forward.
