Functionology is an emerging discipline focused on optimizing human function at the cellular, tissue, and systems levels through physiology-led reasoning, measurable endpoints, and evidence-tiered decision-making.
Directory listing model
The Functionologist Directory is a public listing of Functionologists—Published Contributors who have authored and published at least one article in The Functionologist Journal. Directory listings are time-limited and renewed annually.
Eligibility for listing
To be listed, applicants must:
• Publish at least one accepted article in The Functionologist Journal

Short form (acceptable in bio pages and internal site use):
