Professor Dr. Kenny L. De Meirleir is a Belgian Internal Medicine doctor who specializes in ME/CFS. He frequently partners with numerous myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) researchers in the EU, UK, US, and Australia to further the understanding of the pathophysiology of ME/CFS. He was an editor of the former Journal of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. He participated in an earlier clinical trial of Ampligen, an immunomodulator for ME/CFS.

Clinic location[edit | edit source]

Professor De Meirleir runs a clinic in Brussels, Himmunitas, and also at the Nevada Center for Biomedical Research in Reno, Nevada, in the United States.
