Jesús Castro-Marrero, PhD, (also known as Jesus Castro) works at Cornell ME/CFS Collaborative Research Center, New York, US. His research focuses on Extracellular Vesicles/Exosomes biology and decoding differences in the mRNA and miRNA expression cargo from Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) and blood immune cells (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) before and after a 24 hour CPET challenge in a gender-specific manner in individuals with ME/CFS.

Previously, he was a Senior Research Associate in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Vall d’Hebron University Hospital Research Institute (VHIR), Barcelona, Spain.[1]
