Doctor Jarred Younger is an American researcher who leads the Neuroinflammation, Pain & Fatigue lab at the University of Birmingham, Alabama, United States. He previously worked at the Stanford ME/CFS Initiative with Jose Montoya, as an Assistant Professor involved in a notable study higlighting leptin levels and ME/CFS.

He is currently funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense to study new techniques for diagnosing and treating neuroinflammation in ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia and Gulf War Illness. In particular his work focuses on the role of microglia.
