Vincent C. Lombardi, Ph.D., is the Director of Research at the Nevada Center for Biomedical Research. He has been researching myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) since 1992 in collabration with Dr. Daniel Peterson and Dr. Kenny De Meirleir. After completing his academic studies, he joined the research team of the Nevada Center for Biomedical Research, rising to director in 2011.[1]

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.
