Neil McGregor

Neil R. McGregor, BDS, MDSc, PhD, is a periodontist with an interest in ME/CFS research stemming from treating ME/CFS patients with temporomandibular dysfunction syndrome. He is a senior researcher at the Bio21 Molecular Science and Biotechnology Institute, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia and an Adjunct Professor at Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia. Dr. McGregor was a former co-editor of the Journal of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Dr. McGregor is a member of the Working Group which offers their expertise and resources to the ME/CFS Collaborative Research Center at Stanford University.
