ABOUT OUR GUESTS:
Dr. Bill Harrell:
Dr. Bill Harrell is a distinguished professional in the field of orthodontics and a valued member of Airway Circle’s Advisory Board. He has had the privilege of working with two global pioneers in the field. He worked directly with the late Dr. William Farrar, DDS, a pioneer of TMJ Therapy, and the late Dr. Christian Guilleminault, MD, one of the “Fathers of Sleep Medicine” at Stanford University. He has also worked and published articles with Dr. Stephen Schendel, MD, DDS, former Chief of Plastic Surgery at Stanford University.
Dr. Harrell’s practice was the first in Alabama and the Southeast to have 3D ConeBeam CT (CBCT) imaging, providing a comprehensive view of the patient’s anatomy, including the teeth, bones of the head and neck, the TM Joints, the Airway and sinuses, and other vital structures. His practice was also the first in the USA to include 3D face imaging and measurements of Nasal Resistance and nasal airflow using Rhinomanometry, Acoustic Rhinometry, and Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (PNIF).
Currently, Dr. Harrell is the Chairperson of Radsite’s Standards Committee on ConeBeam CT (CBCT) for both medicine and dentistry, tasked with developing the standards for doctors and facilities to follow for Insurance Company reimbursements. He is also on the American Dental Association’s (ADA) Children’s Airway Screener Taskforce (CAST) tasked with developing a children’s screening questionnaire, called C-GASP, for uncovering early airway issues in children.
Dr. David Gozal
Dr. Gozal currently holds the position of Dean at the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine and serves as the Vice President for Health Affairs at Marshall University. Renowned for his groundbreaking work, he has pioneered biomarker discovery and leveraged machine learning approaches for diagnosing sleep apnea across all stages of life.
In more recent endeavors, Dr. Gozal has delved into exploring the intricate connections between the gut microbiome and circulating exosomes, unraveling their roles as mechanistic effectors and biomarkers in sleep disorders and associated morbidities. His extensive research, dating back to 1992, has consistently garnered support from NIH grants.
With a scholarly footprint comprising over 875 peer-reviewed original articles, an impressive H index of 139, and exceeding 85,000 citations, Dr. Gozal stands among the top 1,000 most cited biomedical scientists globally.
