Established in 2018, this research initiative is based at Harvard affiliated hospitals, including Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC).
Including the faculty of the Harvard affiliated hospitals, critical collaborations are represented from Stanford University, Cornell University, University of Birmingham, University of Nottingham, Uppsala University and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
This collaborative research center is co-led by Ronald G. Tompkins, MD, ScD and Wenzhong Xiao, PhD. This research collaboration seeks to conduct clinical and basic science studies to characterize the dynamic biological changes that occur during change in symptom expression of ME/CFS patients.
