Dr. Nancy Klimas is well known as one of the leaders in CFS research and education for over 20 years. She has been in the news recently as a commentator on XMRV and as a member of the CFS Advisory Committee. She is incredibly generous with her time and knowledge.
She and her team at the University of Miami have been responsible for much of the key research in the immunology of CFS, including low natural killer cell function. Earlier this year, I heard she was trying to get funds to have genomics testing done on some CFS research samples. (The University of Miami has set up a top-notch genomics center in recent years, bringing in one of the most prominent genomics research teams in the country good timing for the CFS research in this area!) For those in the front lines of research, this is a really fruitful time for research in several areas, limited only by the availability of funds.
The local CFS support group in Miami recently circulated information on how to donate to Dr. Klimas CFS research. Its done through the University of Miami but needs to be specified as going to The Morton Fund for CFS Research. Here is the information on how to donate:
