Elisa Oltra, PhD., is a professor of Cell and Molecular Biology at the Universidad Católica de Valencia "San Vicente Mártir", Valencia, Spain. Her areas of research include stem cell, cancer, fibromyalgia and genetics.[1][2]

2017 Ramsay Award[edit | edit source]

A team comprised of Dr. Elisa Oltra of Universidad Católica de Valencia, Spain, and Drs. Lubov Nathanson, Vladimir Beljanski and Malav Suchin Trivedi of Nova Southeastern University, USA, were awarded a 2017 Ramsay Award grant from the Solve ME/CFS Initiative for researching the effect of ME/CFS on epigenetic regulation in specific immune cell types.[3]

ME/CFS Common Data Element (CDE) Project[edit | edit source]

Chair of the Biomarkers Working Group and a member of the Baseline/Covariate Working Group of the Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Common Data Element (CDE) Project sponsored by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention.[4] This working group reviewed data collection instruments widely used by investigators in the ME/CFS field, and either recommended their use unchanged or (more often) proposed some modifications.[5]

myalgic encephalomyelitis (M.E.) - A disease often marked by neurological symptoms, but fatigue is sometimes a symptom as well. Some diagnostic criteria distinguish it from chronic fatigue syndrome, while other diagnostic criteria consider it to be a synonym for chronic fatigue syndrome. A defining characteristic of ME is post-exertional malaise (PEM), or post-exertional neuroimmune exhaustion (PENE), which is a notable exacerbation of symptoms brought on by small exertions. PEM can last for days or weeks. Symptoms can include cognitive impairments, muscle pain (myalgia), trouble remaining upright (orthostatic intolerance), sleep abnormalities, and gastro-intestinal impairments, among others. An estimated 25% of those suffering from ME are housebound or bedbound. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies ME as a neurological disease.
