Mr Gianfranco Campalani - has lived in Northern Ireland for the past 14 years, is one of the Royal’s leading cardiac surgeons. Born and educated in Italy and trained in London he has over 35 years’ experience in heart surgery. He was diagnosed with MS in 1986. Three years ago he met Dr Zamboni in his home town of Ferrara and, following a Doppler study, he underwent angioplasty of both jugular veins by his team. For the last three years he has been campaigning in favour of the theory of CCSVI amongst colleagues in his hospital with no avail. He believes that the medical establishment has to wait for further evidence to be produced before accepting this new and revolutionary approach to the understanding and the treatment of MS".

Dr Tom Gilhooly has been a GP in Glasgow for the past 21 years. He has been interested in neuroimmune disease for the past 16 years and developed a particular interest in MS treatments. He has developed The Essential Health Clinic in Glasgow as a centre of excellence for MS treatments including omega 3, vitamin D and low dose naltrexone (LDN). He became interested in CCSVI through the MS patients attending the clinic and has developed the first screening and treatment programme for CCSVI in the UK. Tom is also akeynote speaker at international omega-3 events.

Professor E. Mark Haacke is a neuro-imaging scientist at McMaster University and Wayne State University in Detroit. He has long been seeing iron deposits in the brains of MS patients using a specialised MRI analysis called SWI (specific weighted imaging). When he saw Zamboni's initial publications, he immediately contacted the Italian doctor and began collaborating. His research interests include: MR angiography, SWI to study vascular disease, stroke imaging, better detection of cancer and brain function. He supervises graduate students in medical physics and he works with others to enhance current clinical methods to take research ideas into the clinical realm.
