Vincent Racaniello
Vincent Racaniello, PhD, is Higgins Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City.[1] He is one of four virologists who has recently authored Principles of Virology, a textbook used by many teaching virology to undergraduate, medical and graduate students.[2][3]
Prof. Racaniello runs the popular TWiV blog and podcast with regular interviews in the field of virology.
His Virology blog has published the long-running series, Trial By Error written by Dr. David Tuller, criticizing the PACE trial, including open letters to The Lancet demanding an independent review of the controversial PACE trial.[4][5][6][7]
Open Letters[edit | edit source]
The Lancet[edit | edit source]
Three open letters to the editor of The Lancet urged the editor to commission a fully independent review of the PACE trial, which the journal had published in 2011. The first, written in 2015, was signed by Dr. Racaniello and 5 of his colleagues. In 2016, thirty-six additional colleagues in the ME/CFS field, signed the second letter. In July of 2018, Racianello and more than one hundred other colleagues signed the third letter.
