PRESS
RELEASE
(July 16TH 2007, London)
The inaugural Board Meeting of the newly formed Homeopathy Research
Institute (HRI), took place in London in June signalling a new era in
the field of homeopathic research in the UK.
The aim of the Homeopathy Research Institute is to promote and
facilitate high-quality scientific research in the field of
homeopathy. The HRI will be the first central resource dedicated
solely to research about homeopathy as it is practised today. A key
task of the Institute will be to communicate about the science
relating to homeopathy to the medical and scientific communities, the
media, the general public, and to homeopaths themselves. The Institute
will form a bridge between the scientific and homeopathic communities
backed up by a strong PR and communications team.
The Institute was founded by Dr. Alexander Tournier who holds a PhD in
Biophysics from the University of Heidelberg and is a fellow at Cancer
Research UK in addition to being a qualified homeopath. This
background places Dr. Tournier in the unusual position of being able
to speak the language of both academic science and homeopathy. He
says, “Through this institute, my aims are to strengthen the
scientific foundations of homeopathy, and promote homeopathy as a
sound system of medicine well-deserving of a place alongside
conventional medicine."
The HRI’s Board of Directors consists of Dr. Tournier, Clare Relton
Msc, RSHom, (DH training fellow in CAM Health Services Research at the
University of Sheffield), Marcus Fernandez LCPH, MHMA, (homeopath and
vice-principal of the Centre for Homeopathic Education), and Dr. Nagin
Lad PhD, LCHE, (biochemist and homeopath). The Board is currently
supported by a team of consultants including Dr. Patti Bayliss, McHB,
FRCG, Sara Perkins Bran LCHE, (PR consultant and homeopath), and Dr.
Natasa Peric-Concha PhD , (molecular biologist and trainee homeopath).
At the inaugural Board Meeting, the participants established a
Scientific Committee in charge of developing the research program of
the Institute. The Scientific Committee is headed by Dr. Tournier
along with Clare Relton, and is presently composed of Dr. Lad and Dr.
Peric-Concha, Dr. Lionel R. Milgrom PhD, FRSC, RSHom, MARH, Dr. Mike
Emmans Dean PhD, MARH, Dr. Elizabeth Thompson MBBS, MRCP, FFHom, and
Prof. Kate Thomas among others.
Clare Relton, who is currently developing appropriate trial designs
for homeopathy research says, “I am very excited to be a part of the
Homeopathy Research Institute as it will pull together ongoing
homeopathy research and be a resource for new trials. Treatment
methods, homeopathic remedies and principles, cost effectiveness,
efficacy and safety are all areas the Institute will be examining.”
The Board also elected a PR Committee entrusted with developing the
communications strategy of the Institute. This consists of Marcus
Fernandez, Sara Perkins Bran and Natasa Peric-Concha.
The HRI invites participation from interested groups and individuals.
In particular, we would like to hear from people with fund-raising
expertise who are interested in consulting with our PR Committee. If
you would like to donate funds, find out more or help in some way,
please contact us.
