In this first of the series of videos, Dr Klimas discusses the background of her involvement with ME/CFS and Gulf War Illness (GWI) as well as the research projects under her direction: • Microarray study of 30,000 genes in a genomic study during exercise to determine what mediates a relapse. • Biomarker discovery studies for both ME/CFS and Gulf War Illness (GWI) • Dynamic Modeling to determine what might be done to intervene the development of ME/CFS and Gulf War Illness • Update on the TeleHealth SMART energy study to determine the impact of cognitive behavioral therapy in dealing with ME/CFS. • The development of a Natural History Study to develop a bio-bank of information on ME/CFS • The forthcoming Murine retrovirus study for GWI Dr Klimas presentation is from the conference Understanding Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME and Gulf War Illness hosted by Dr Klimas at the VA Hospital in Miami on March 26, 2011.
