Welcoming the new members of the Diagnosis Development Committee (DDC)!

The DDC counts on a dedicated team of nurses to formulate and conduct review processes of proposed new and revised diagnoses, or proposed deletions.

I want to acknowledge the hard work of our DDC Team, who worked along with researchers from several countries to complete multiple revisions during this last cycle:

–           Dr Agueda Cavalcante (Brazil)

–           Dr Ángel Martin García (Spain)

–           Dr Fabio D’Agostino (Italy)

–           Dr Hortensia Castañeda-Hidalgo (Mexico)

–           Dr Marta Avena (Brazil)

–           Dr Lisa Cleveland (USA)

–           Dr Silvia Caldeira (Portugal)

Drs Marta Avena, Lisa Cleveland, Fabio D’Agostino and Silvia Caldeira completed their terms in 2020. I would like to thank them for their contributions, and extend a warm welcome to our newly appointed members:

–           Dr Cathy Prevost (USA)

–           Dr Joana Romeiro (Portugal)

–           Dr Martín Rodríguez-Álvaro (Spain)

–           Dr Shigemi Kamitsuru (Japan)

I am thrilled and looking forward to working with these esteemed nurses through the next cycle in close partnership with the Research Team!
