[[File:Wilfred de Vega.png|200px|thumb|right]] '''Wilfred Carlo de Vega''', PhD, is a Business Development Specialist at Mitacs, Toronto, Canada. He completed his doctorate in the Department of Cell & Systems Biology at the [[University of Toronto]], Canada, under the supervision of Dr. [[Patrick McGowan]]. ==Doctorate thesis== *2018, ''DNA Methylation Modifications Associated with Glucocorticoid Sensitivity and Clinical Subtypes of [[ME/CFS|Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome]] (ME/CFS)''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tspace.library.utoronto.ca/handle/1807/89701 | title = DNA Methylation Modifications Associated with Glucocorticoid Sensitivity and Clinical Subtypes of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) | last =de Vega | first = Wilfred Carlo| date = Jun 2018 | website = TSpace - University of Toronto Libraries|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=}}</ref> - De Vega's thesis research, supervised by under the supervision of Dr. [[Patrick McGowan]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.linkedin.com/in/wdevega/ | title = LinkedIn - Wilfred de Vega, PhD | last = | first = | date = July 2018 | website = |archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=}}</ref> examined genome-wide epigenetic changes associated with [[ME/CFS]] and how these changes have downstream consequences on [[stress]] hormone sensitivity which could potentially relate to clinical subtypes based on symptom severity. His thesis work and [[ME/CFS]] research in the [[Patrick McGowan|McGowan]] lab were funded by the [[Solve ME/CFS Initiative]], Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), and the Falk Medical Research Foundation.
