Cara Tomas
From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history
Cara Tomas, PhD, is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Institute of Cellular Medicine, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. Tomas' interest in ME/CFS stems from her own experience with acute onset ME/CFS leaving her bedbound for a time.[1]
