l
Nancy Klimas, MD, one of the world=92s leading researchers and
clinicians in chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis
(CFS/ME), a debilitating disorder that affects more than 1 million
Americans, joined Nova Southeastern University=92s College of
Osteopathic Medicine faculty earlier this month.
An expert in immune disorders, Klimas will establish the NSU College
of Osteopathic Medicine=92s Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine, which
will conduct cutting-edge research and treat patients suffering from
CFS/ME and Gulf War Illness (GWI). The Institute will be located at
NSU=92s main campus in Davie. In the meantime, patients can continue
receiving treatment at the existing Chronic Fatigue Center in Kendall,
Fla, where Klimas is the director.
The Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine will use the integration of
research, training, and clinical care to advance the needs of patients
suffering from CFS/ME and GWI. By bringing together some of the best
scientific minds in the world, the facility will act as both a think
tank and a working institute for research, training new clinicians and
providing diagnostic and therapeutic clinical care.
=93The Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine, strategically placed at Nova
Southeastern University, will bring together great minds in the field
of neuro immune disorders under one umbrella,=94 Klimas said. =93It will
be a place to coordinate cutting edge thinking and research, train new
practitioners, and offer the highest quality clinical care for a
hugely underserved population. I am thrilled to partner with NSU in
this giant step forward in the field of CFS/ME care and research.=94
