Doctorate thesis[edit | edit source]

  • 2018, DNA Methylation Modifications Associated with Glucocorticoid Sensitivity and Clinical Subtypes of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)[1] - De Vega's thesis research, supervised by under the supervision of Dr. Patrick McGowan,[2] examined genome-wide epigenetic changes associated with ME/CFS and how these changes have downstream consequences on stress hormone sensitivity which could potentially relate to clinical subtypes based on symptom severity. His thesis work and ME/CFS research in the McGowan lab were funded by the Solve ME/CFS Initiative, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), and the Falk Medical Research Foundation.
