Suzanne Vernon, PhD, the Research Liaison at Bateman Horne Center of Excellence works closely with Dr. Bateman on ME/CFS and fibromyalgia research.

CFSAC Committee
Dr. Bateman was a voting member of the Health and Human Services's Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Advisory Committee for the terms 12/01/05 to 12/01/08 & 01/03/06 to 01/03/10 and is currently serving the term 12/13/2017 to 12/12/2021.

Open Letter to The Lancet
Two open letters to the editor of The Lancet urged the editor to commission a fully independent review of the PACE trial, which the journal had published in 2011. In 2016, Dr. Bateman, along with 41 colleagues in the ME/CFS field, signed the second letter.
