  • Edinburgh Study Links ME/CFS to “Blood-Based Biomarkers”

    Last fall, a team from the University of Edinburgh released a pre-print called “Replicated blood-based biomarkers for myalgic encephalomyelitis not explicable by inactivity.” At the time, I posted an interview with the lead investigator, Chris Ponting, a professor of genetics at the university. The peer-reviewed version of the study has just been published by the…

  • Professor Chris Ponting on “Replicated Blood-Based Biomarkers” for ME in Big Data Pre-Print Study

    Along with several colleagues, Professor Chris Ponting, a geneticist at the University of Edinburgh and a leading ME/CFS researcher, recently posted a pre-print called “Replicated blood-based biomarkers for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis not explicable by inactivity.”  (A pre-print is a paper that has not yet been formally peer-reviewed.) For this analysis, the investigators examined data for more…
