Dr Alkisti Manousaki

Daphne Jackson Fellow at the University of Leicester

Field: Life Sciences & Biomedicine

Host: University of Leicester

Funder: ME Research UK and the Medical Research Council (MRC)

Fellowship Title: “Decoding the female bias in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome at the molecular and cellular ultrastructural level”

Understanding the molecular differences in how ME/CFS affects men and women could be key to unlocking its underlying biology. By combining advanced genetic analysis with cutting-edge imaging, I hope to identify the mechanisms driving symptoms and point the way towards earlier diagnosis and more targeted therapies.
