Oculomotor testing in the lab |
A Monash Central Clinical School scientist has been awarded $180,000 over three years to develop a way to help diagnose myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
Associate Professor Joanne Fielding, from the Department of Neuroscience, is being funded by the Judith Jane Mason & Harold Stannet Williams Memorial Foundation (the Mason Foundation) through Equity Trustees to conduct a project identifying objective behavioural markers for this debilitating disorder. Associate Professor Fielding is working with Dr Scott Kolbe and Dr Meaghan Clough, both from the Department, and co-investigator Dr Chris Armstrong from the University of Melbourne on the project.
