NFIM Fellowship Program

Identifying, developing, assessing and accelerating to market the latest advances in medical technology and innovation necessary to address and overcome the many challenges and obstacles still preventing quality and availability of healthcare for all.

NFIM’s 3rd Generation Medicine Lab: Fellowship Program

Modeled upon the highly successful and prolific open-source collaborative intelligence model, NFIM’s 3rd Gen Med Lab! is greatly empowered through its Fellowship Program and the growing number of domain specific Working Groups. Our Fellows, researching, fostering and supporting the realization of 3rd Generation Medicine, are focused on addressing 7 Elements “fundamental areas of research and development”:

• Biomedical Signal Processing
• Biomedical Sensor Systems
• Computation & Bioinformatics
• Medical Information & Intelligence
• Medical Diagnostics & Treatment
• Integrative Medicine Practice
• Product & Service Market Viability

Our Fellowship Program is comprised of four categories of Fellows:

• Lifetime Fellow: those with a lifetime of demonstrated contributions in the field of Integrative Medicine and related fields.
• Senior Fellow: those actively managing and contributing to one of the 7 Elements labs within the greater 3rd Gen Med Lab.
• Annual Fellow: those involved in an NFIM fellowship working group, or participating in a yearlong study or project.
• Project Fellow: those joining a specific NFIM fellowship working group for a specific project.

Whether Lifetime, Senior, Annual or Project based, all NFIM fellowships and working group associates are focused on realizing the health and well-being of individuals through the moving beyond the universal molecular based medicine of 2nd Generation Medicine to the personalized data driven medicine of 3rd Generation Medicine.

E.M. Burlingame

Research Fellow

After more than two decades in design and development of signal processing related to telecommunications, securities markets and counterterrorism, E.M. began his doctoral studies in multivariate signal processing in financial markets and business intelligence. After service with Special forces in his forties and subsequent diagnosis of traumatic brain injury and the death of several friends and colleagues from the same, E.M. shifted his studies and research to multivariate signals integration in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of brain injury and resultant mood disorders. In early 2020, E.M. launched the Jason Dawson and Stewart McGurk Brain Research Fellowship with the purpose of establishing a rigorous mathematical, scientific and medical framework integrates into a single whole, signals arising from the growing number of detection and diagnosis devices, equipment and testing. A framework integrates the biological, neurological and neuropsychological levels, which collectively comprise the brain and mind, into a single whole, readily recognizable and usable by all the many different participants in brain and mental health.

Exploring New Frontiers

The 3GML is a growing open-and-closed community of non-profits, fellows, citizen volunteers, vendors, technologists, physicians, and patients concerned with the next generation of medicine and integrative care.
