Andrew
Sewell, M.D.
Dr. Andrew Sewell received a BA in
physics from Cornell University, a degree in medicine from the
University of Connecticut Medical School in Hartford, completed a double
residency in neurology and psychiatry at the University of Massachusetts
in Worcester, and now works at the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Research
Center at Harvard Medical School. He originally started studying cluster
headache only in order to answer a fairly academic question about the
relationship between abnormal neuroendocrine response by the
hypothalamus and increased incidence of substance abuse, but quickly
found it to be such and interesting yet understudied disorder that he is
now trying to start a research program entirely devoted to cluster
headache.
