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

Dr Chu is Co-chair of Post-exertional Malaise Working Group and a member of the Sleep Working Group and the Biomarkers Working Group of the Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Common Data Elements (CDE) Project sponsored by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.[6]

Quotes[edit | edit source]

  • 2016, "Ultimately the best way to prevent suicide in ME/CFS will be to find effective disease-modifying treatments or cures for it."[7]

Publications[edit | edit source]

Open Letter to The Lancet[edit | edit source]

Three open letters to the editor of The Lancet have been sent urging the editor to commission a fully independent review of the PACE trial, which the journal had published in 2011. In 2016, Dr. Chu, along with 41 colleagues in the ME/CFS field, signed the second letter.
