From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history

Isabel Barao-Silvestre, aka Isabel Barao, Ph.D., is a cancer immunologist[1] and a Research Assistant Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at University of Nevada Reno, Nevada, US.[2] She is researching the causes of abnormal NK cell functioning in ME/CFS patients and its use as a potential biomarker for ME/CFS.[1]

From 2013 to 2015, Barao-Silvestre worked as the Scientific Director of Simmaron Research, Incline Village, Nevada.[3]

In 2016, Barao-Silvestre was awarded a grant from Solve ME/CFS Initiative Ramsay Award Program for the project, “The Bioenergetic Health Index of NK Cells as a Diagnostic Tool for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.”[4][5] in 2017, she was awarded a grant from the National Institute Of Allergy And Infectious Diseases for "Risk of CFS Due to IgG Receptor Genes that Impair ADCC."[6]

mitochondria Important parts of the biological cell, with each mitochondrion encased within a mitochondrial membrane. Mitochondria are best known for their role in energy production, earning them the nickname "the powerhouse of the cell". Mitochondria also participate in the detection of threats and the response to these threats. One of the responses to threats orchestrated by mitochondria is apoptosis, a cell suicide program used by cells when the threat can not be eliminated.
