FROM THE JJAMD FOUNDATION CO-FOUNDERS AND CO-PRESIDENTS
We at JJAMD understand the struggle that you are undergoing. TemporoMandibular Muscle and Joint Disorder
In our role of
advocating on your behalf, we are continually struggling to--not only raise awareness--but
to also cultivate research that will revolutionize our care.
This past year, The Forsyth Institute announced a Fellowship, which honors the
work we have done to promote advocacy, awareness, and education, of TMJD to the
American Public, and hope and help to this large disadvantaged patient
population. Forsyth’s world-class scientists, already heavily engaged in
genetic and molecular science, will provide mentoring of the Postdoctoral
Fellows. This will assure quality, independent, innovative, and peer-reviewed
research. This is a major breakthrough, and an opportunity to break the logjam
of heretofore unproven scientific research. Only appropriate scientific
research will, once and for all, create an understanding of TMJD as a
whole-body medical problem We invite you
to join us in this worthy cause, please consider supporting the Fellowship. Go
