In February 2017, Dr. Davis explained in a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGBXXlQO49g video] that the development of new nanofabricated technology allows rapid drug screening via measurement of electrical impedance. This technology may be able to determine which medications could be most effective in treating [[myalgic encephalomyelitis]]/[[chronic fatigue syndrome]]. Experimentation was also being carried out to test if this same nanofabricated technology could be used in developing a simple [[diagnostic biomarker|diagnostic test]] for [[myalgic encephalomyelitis]]/[[chronic fatigue syndrome]].<ref>{{Cite web | title = An Update on ME/CFS Research with Dr. Ronald W.

Ronald Wayne Davis, PhD., or Ron Davis, is a Professor of Biochemistry & Genetics and the Director of the Stanford Genome Technology Center at Stanford University. In 1983, he was bestowed the honor of being elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences.[1]

Ron Davis' son, Whitney Dafoe, is severely ill with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Professor Davis leads the End ME/CFS Project with the Open Medicine Foundation whose first project was the ME/CFS Severely Ill, Big Data Study.[2]

Committees and boards[edit | edit source]

Open Medicine Foundation[edit | edit source]

Director of the Scientific Advisory Board at Open Medicine Foundation, which is committed to research for ME/CFS and related chronic complex diseases.[3]

Institute of Medicine report[edit | edit source]

Dr. Davis was one of the experts on the "Committee on the Diagnostic Criteria for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" that was convened as per US government request for the 2015 Institute of Medicine.[4] The Institute of Medicine has since changed its name to the National Academy of Medicine.[5]

ME/CFS Common Data Element (CDE) Project[edit | edit source]

Member of the Biomarkers Working Group of the Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Common Data Element (CDE) Project sponsored by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.[6]

ME/CFS research summary[edit | edit source]

As director of the Scientific Advisory Board at Open Medicine Foundation, a charity he founded to research ME/CFS and related chronic complex diseases, Ron Davis has led a number of high profile medical research projects for ME/CFS.[3]

In June 2018, Dr. Davis and the Stanford Genome Center received a grant award for the research study Molecular and Single-cell Immunology of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome "to investigate the immunological basis of ME/CFS using cutting-edge technologies to understand the role of infection and autoimmunity in the behavior of single immune cells from patients – offering precise insights into how this complex illness originates and persists that may lead to new strategies for treatment."[7] This was a five-year study that it was announced would receive $745,000 a year.[8]

In February 2017, Dr. Davis explained in a video that the development of new nanofabricated technology allows rapid drug screening via measurement of electrical impedance. This technology may be able to determine which medications could be most effective in treating myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome. Experimentation was also being carried out to test if this same nanofabricated technology could be used in developing a simple diagnostic test for myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.[9] A small nanoelectronics-blood-based diagnostic biomarker study was published in 2019.[10]

In March 2016, it was announced that the ME/CFS Severely Ill, Big Data Study had a significant result in the area of mitochondria. This lead to the addition of Dr. Robert Naviaux (a mitochondrial expert) to the research team.[11]

  • 2019, A nanoelectronics-blood-based diagnostic biomarker for myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS)[10] - (Full text)
  • 2019, Red blood cell deformability is diminished in patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome[13] - (Full text)
  • 2018, Erythrocyte Deformability As a Potential Biomarker for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome[14] - (Full text)

Advocacy[edit | edit source]

Open Letters[edit | edit source]

Millions Missing protest[edit | edit source]

Dr. Ron Davis and his wife, Dr. Janet Dafoe, protested with #MillionsMissing at the San Francisco satellite protest on May 25, 2016.[19] Dr. Davis gave a speech about the challenges ME patients face, and his hopes for the future of ME research.[20]
