For over 30 years IGeneX has been the global leader in the research and development of tests that accurately detect Lyme disease, Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever, and other tick-borne diseases. Tick-borne illnesses can affect every aspect of life and without effective diagnosis and treatment, symptoms can often worsen and progress into severe and even life-threatening health issues. And when a patient can’t find a cause or a way to get better, their quality of life suffers. At IGeneX. We make it our singular mission to offer best-in-class testing for tick-borne diseases that deliver the most comprehensive and accurate results possible, so patients can find the right treatment path to restore their health and get back to enjoying their lives.
The IGeneX presenters will include:
Dr. Joseph Burrascano

Dr. Burrascano is a physician who was an early innovator in the field of tick-borne diseases, having begun his clinical research in the mid-1980s in cooperation with several other key pioneers. He is well known for his pioneering monographs on diagnostic and treatment guidelines for Lyme and related tick-borne illnesses- a classic series that has been freely circulated around the world since 1989.
A founding Board Member of ILADS, the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Foundation, he also served as a Director of the ILADS Educational Foundation and continues to be active in educating practitioners and the public on the clinical diagnosis and treatment of people with Lyme and related diseases.
As a result of his many contributions to this field, he has authored or edited articles, book chapters, whole textbooks, book reviews and more, and has appeared in and on virtually every form of media. He has advised the CDC and NIH, testified before the U.S. Senate, an armed services joint subcommittee, and at various governor’s councils. In addition, he serves on the editorial review board for several medical journals.
A graduate of the NYU School of Medicine with a specialty in Internal Medicine, Dr. Burrascano currently works full time as a project analyst and manager for a private biotech company, helping to bring advanced technologies and treatments out of the lab and into general use.
He is dedicated to the education of practitioners, patients, and other stakeholders, and is well known for his highly detailed presentations at medical conferences and Zoom meetings.
