Christopher William Armstrong, PhD, performs research in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the Bio21 Molecular Science & Biotechnology Institute at the University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia with an interest in the dysfunction of energy metabolism of people with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

Dr. Armstrong is a member of the Working Group which offers their expertise and resources to the ME/CFS Collaborative Research Center at Stanford University.[1]

ME Australia interviewed Dr Armstrong and wrote a profile on him 'Meet the Scientists: Dr Christopher Armstrong'.[2]

In 2018, Dr Armstrong was part of delegation briefing Australia's Chief Medical Officer, Prof Brendan Murphy, on research into ME.[3]
