It will do=basic, clinical and social science research as well as scholarly work in p=acebo studies. We are situated in all the major teaching hospitals at H=rvard and have already drawn commitments from over 20 faculty. Anne Ha=rington will be joining us. We recently published an physiological s=udy of placebo in the New England Journal of Medicine and a theoretical pa=er in Philosophic Transactions of the Roy Soc B. (I'm attaching fy=). We anticipate making some major breakthroughs in genetic of placebo=effects (we're submitting our findings in the next days) and have m=jor studies in the pipeline. We're hoping that this program will e=tablish Placebo Studies as a important component of medical research inter=ationally.
