Insights into the Immunology of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Wednesday, June 14
12:45 PM - 4:45 PM
Sponsored By:
Myalgic encephalomyelitis /chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating and complex disorder that severely impacts the life of ~2 million Americans. There is no documented cause of ME/CFS, it is difficult to diagnose, and there are no specific biomarkers nor diagnostic testing available currently. Multiple recent ME/CFS expert panels have recommended multidisciplinary, novel approaches to gain a better understanding of ME/CFS. This symposium will bring together immunologists working in the ME/CFS field to review progress of immunological studies and foster collaborations on biomarker discovery, immune mechanisms and potential therapeutic development.
Chair:
Joseph Breen, PhD, National Institutes of Health
Program:
12:45p.m. Welcome and Objectives
Joseph Breen, PhD, National Institutes of Health and Vicky Whittemore, PhD, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke
12:50 p.m. The Public Health Problem of ME/CFS
Elizabeth Unger, MD, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
1:15 p.m. Evidence of T-Cell activity in ME/CFS
Mark Davis, PhD, Stanford University
1:45 p.m. Immunological characterisation of ME/CFS cases and controls from the UK ME/CFS Biobank
Eleanor Riley, PhD, University of London
2:35 p.m. - Coffee break

Learning Objectives:
- This half‐day symposium will provide a forum for experts in the immunology of ME/CFS to present the current state of the science to key clinical immunology stakeholders. These interactions should stimulate new approaches to decipher the mechanistic and immunological underpinnings of ME/CFS. Such collaborative efforts will open new research avenues and potential clinical solutions to combat ME/CFS.
