Professor Doctor Carmen Scheibenbogen is an Internal Medicine physician, ME/CFS doctor and the Professor for Immunology and Deputy Chair, Institute of Medical Immunology, at the University Hospital Charité in Berlin, Germany. Her research focuses on the role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), particularly the characterization of EBV specific B cell and T cell response and the enhanced antibody response against EBV peptides in myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) versus healthy controls.[1]

Wirth-Scheibenbogen unifying hypothesis of ME/CFS[edit | edit source]

Between 2020 and 2021, with Prof. Dr Klaus Wirth, Prof. Scheibenbogen published a set of articles describing a detailed hypothesis of the pathophysiology of ME/CFS.[2][3][4]

EUROMENE[edit | edit source]

Professor Scheibenbogen is the Leader of the Biomarkers Working Group of EUROMENE, a European Union, COST Action CA15111, not-for-profit research organization committed to tackling the cause and treatment for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.[5]

Diagnostic test[edit | edit source]

Professor Scheibenbogen helped create the CellTrend Diagnostic Test which may help identify a subset of 20-30% of all patients with ME/CFS. These patients have elevated levels of three auto-antibodies, i.e., against the b2-adrenergic receptor, against the muscarinic cholinergic receptor 3 (M3) and against the muscarinic cholinergic receptor 4 (M4).[6]
