Lewith, George - University of Southampton

个人简介

Professor Lewith knew from the age of 7 that he wanted to become a doctor, a vocation about which he has never had any regrets. Later, when he considered to which medical school he should apply, he became fascinated by molecular biology so deliberately applied to Cambridge to allow him to complete a part II in Natural Sciences. His career has allowed him to combine his scientific interests, including over 150 primary research papers, with a busy clinical practice over the last 30 years. He now works at the University of Southampton where he leads an internationally respected Integrated Medicine research group within the medical school's department of primary medical care. The department is part of the NIHR national school for primary care research. His research is focused on differentiating the specific from the non specific effects of treatment and developing models that will help to explain the patient perceived benefits of a variety of complementary medical interventions. He is currently interested in Pain, Arthritis and Cancer as illness models investigating the effects of acupuncture, healing, homeopathy and herbal medicines.
