The Cornell Center’s current research projects examine the biological, molecular, and physiological mechanisms of ME/CFS. Explore each project to learn more about the Center’s ongoing work.

Participant Interactions

Opportunities for people with ME/CFS and healthy volunteers to participate in Center research studies.

Muscle Tissue

Investigating differences in gene expression in muscle tissue from people with ME/CFS and healthy control participants.

Immune Cell Dysfunction

Examining immune dysregulation in classical monocytes and platelets in people with ME/CFS.

Extracellular Vesicle Cargo

Studying the protein and RNA cargo of extracellular vesicles from different tissues.

Cell-free RNA

Examining plasma RNA content before and after exercise to identify biological signals associated with ME/CFS.

Multiomics

Comparing and integrating multiple types of biological data to better understand ME/CFS.

Research Core

Supporting Center projects through bioinformatics, data management, and data integration.
