Gunnar Gottschalk

C. Gunnar Gottschalk, M.S., is a student at Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois and a member of the Board of Directors at Simmaron Research, a non-profit organization based in Incline Village, Nevada, which works to advance translational science in treating neuroimmune diseases like CFS/ME.

In 2012, Gottschalk was the Clinical Coordinator for years I and II of the CDC Multi-site Clinical Assessment of CFS. The project's aim was to characterize patients with CFS or myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) in clinical practices of clinicians with expertise in CFS/ME. Team members included Andreas Kogelnik, Lucinda Bateman, and Nancy Klimas.

In 2012, Gottschalk was the Cohort Recruitment Project Clinical Coordinator at the Chronic Fatigue Initiative at the Hutchins Family Foundation for the project to develop a clinical and biosample database to enable discovery of pathogens and pathogenic mechanisms in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
