Leaders in the field of Enterovirus Research

By far, Dr. John Chia has been a beacon of light in leading research efforts within the field of enterovirus research.  Dr. Chia is the President of EV Med Research, Owner/Physician at Infectious Disease Med, and Assistant Professor at the UCLA School of Medicine. He is an infectious disease specialist and studies the role of enteroviral infections in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME).

Dr. Chia recently published original research from a study that found 135 out of 165 (82%) of CFS/ME patients had stomach biopsy samples that stain positive for enteroviral antigens compared with 7 out of 34 (20%) of the controls. He also found that 9 out of 24 (37%) of CFS/ME patients had enteroviral RNA in their gut tissues compared to 1 out of 21 controls. Currently, Dr. Chia is investigating treatment strategies for persistent enteroviral infections.  We are honored to have Dr. Chia serve on our Enterovirus Foundation Board of Directors and grateful to share his research with you and others of the EF community.
