Peter Clarke\u00a0talks to Bio21 researcher\u00a0Chris Armstrong\u00a0about new research that challenges popular views of this enigmatic illness<\/p>\n

With its debiliating symptoms \u2013 fatigue, \u201cbrain fog,\u201d pain, gastrointestinal disorders \u2013 and its elusive causes, chronic fatigue syndrome has been one of the great unsolved medical mysteries. Now, a growing number of research teams around the world are tackling the challenge of diagnosing and treating the illness using new medical research techniques.<\/p>\n

By looking at patients\u2019 genetics and the changing pattern of their metabolites \u2013 the molecules produced by their individual metabolisms \u2013 these researchers have made enormous progress in uncovering patterns exclusive to the condition and countering once-popular psychological explanations.<\/p>\n

Among the research centres working on CFS (also known as myalgic encephalomyoletis) is the Bio21 Institute at the University of Melbourne. Earlier this month, amid the centrifuges, mass spectrometers and NMR cylinders used to identify shifts in biological material,\u00a0Peter Clarke\u00a0spoke to Bio21 researcher\u00a0Chris Armstrong.<\/p>\n

The Institute\u2019s work is supported by the Mason Foundation, with assistance for NMR equipment from the Australian Research Council.<\/p>\n
