For over three decades, her research interests have always been at the intersection of biology and computation: developing a computational model for the human auditory system, understanding human language so as to develop algorithms and systems for human computer interactions, as well as applying natural language processing (NLP) techniques to gene predictions. But in recent years, Dr. Seneff has focused her research interests back towards biology. She is concentrating mainly on the relationship between nutrition and health. Since 2011, she has written over a dozen papers (7 as first author) in various medical and health-related journals on topics such as modern day diseases (e.g., Alzheimer, autism, cardiovascular diseases), analysis and search of databases of drug side effects using NLP techniques, and the impact of nutritional deficiencies and environmental toxins on human health. -How the history of vaccinations is much, much different than what we've been led to believe... -Why kids actually need to get measles, mumps and rubella... -How vaccines can cause a sulfate deficiency and why that's a problem... -The truth about the Andrew Wakefield, vaccines and autism scandal... -Why mercury and aluminum aren't really a problem when it comes to MMR vaccines, and what really is the problem... -What you need to know about ingredients like thimerosal and formaldehyde... -Alternatives to vaccines for yourself, for children and for babies...
