The Barth Syndrome Foundation’s (BSF) international Scientific and Medical Advisory Board is a dedicated team of researchers and physicians who generously donate their time and expertise to our mission. Without them, we would not be able to review grant applications with multi-dimensional expertise or write medically-approved educational materials about Barth syndrome. These eminent scientists and physicians are central to our goals and our operation. BSF is incredibly pleased to introduce our members, each of whom has agreed to serve for a four-year term. This international group forms the review panel for research grants and provides scientific and medical advice and guidance to BSF's Board of Directors.
Prof. Peter G. Barth, MD, PhD, Emeritus
Pediatric Neurology (retired), Emma Children´s Hospital, Academic Medical Center; Emeritus Professor, Pediatric Neurology, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Dr. Barth is the pediatric neurologist who first comprehensively described the condition that now bears his name, Barth syndrome. He has published extensively on the disorder and has treated a number of boys with Barth syndrome, many of them from the same extended family in the Netherlands. He retired from some of his official responsibilities in November 2002, but he continues to be a devoted and vital part of the Barth Syndrome Foundation.
