Gathering Clues to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Dawei Li of FAU aims to create a broad program that integrates bioinformatics development, genetic risk discovery, and translational medicine to investigate diseases such as chronic fatigue syndrome. Li’s research may provide new clues for ways to help those with CFS, which affects more than 20 million people worldwide.

“We are working on a number of innovative genomics and bioinformatics research projects to investigate new questions… There has long been speculation of viral causes for chronic fatigue syndrome,” Li said. “Many believe the original virus that triggers the disease leaves the patient’s body, making it difficult to determine the cause of the illness.”
