Jesús Castro-Marrero

Jesús Castro-Marrero, PhD, (also known as Jesus Castro) works at Cornell ME/CFS Collaborative Research Center, New York, USA. His research focuses on Extracellular Vesicles/Exosomes biology and decoding differences in the mRNA and miRNA expression cargo from Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) and blood immune cells (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) before and after a 24 hour CPET challenge in a gender-specific manner in individuals with ME/CFS.

Previously, he was a Senior Research Associate in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Vall d’Hebron University Hospital Research Institute (VHIR), Barcelona, Spain.

EUROMENE
Dr. Castro-Marrero is a Working Group Leader on Epidemiology of ME/CFS across Europe on behalf of the EUROMENE, a European Union not-for-profit research organization committed to tackling the cause and treatment for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
