==ME/CFS research summary== As director of the Scientific Advisory Board at [[Open Medicine Foundation]], a charity he founded to research [[ME/CFS]] and related chronic complex diseases, Ron Davis has led a number of high profile medical research projects for ME/CFS.<ref name="OMF-board"/> In June 2018, Dr. Davis and the Stanford Genome Center received a grant award for the research study ''Molecular and Single-cell Immunology of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome'' "to investigate the immunological basis of ME/CFS using cutting-edge technologies to understand the role of infection and [[autoimmunity]] in the behavior of single immune cells from patients β offering precise insights into how this complex illness originates and persists that may lead to new strategies for treatment."<ref>[https://projectreporter.nih.gov/project_info_description.cfm?aid=9577948&icde=40034644 Molecular and Single-cell Immunology of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - NIH RePORT Project Number 1R01AI139550-01]</ref> This was a five-year study that it was announced would receive $745,000 a year.<ref>[https://www.omf.ngo/2018/06/26/davis-nih-grant/ HealthRising: Ron Davis (Finally) Gets His Big Grant! by Cort Johnson via Open Medicine Foundation]</ref> In February 2017, Dr. Davis explained in a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGBXXlQO49g video] that the development of new nanofabricated technology allows rapid drug screening via measurement of electrical impedance. This technology may be able to determine which medications could be most effective in treating [[myalgic encephalomyelitis]]/[[chronic fatigue syndrome]]. Experimentation was also being carried out to test if this same nanofabricated technology could be used in developing a simple [[diagnostic biomarker|diagnostic test]] for [[myalgic encephalomyelitis]]/[[chronic fatigue syndrome]].<ref>{{Cite web | title = An Update on ME/CFS Research with Dr. Ronald W.

This lead to the addition of Dr. [[Robert Naviaux]] (a mitochondrial expert) to the research team.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.healthrising.org/forums/threads/end-me-cfs-severe-patient-study-turns-to-the-mitochondria.3949/| title = End ME/CFS Severe Patient Study Turns to the Mitochondria | website = Health Rising's Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Fibromyalgia Forums|language=en-US|access-date=2019-09-12}}</ref>
