Translational research connects laboratory discoveries with clinical care, helping turn scientific findings into better ways to understand, diagnose, and treat disease. Dr. Vincent Lombardi's program highlights emerging research in ME/CFS, from discoveries in the laboratory to clinical research and potential new approaches to patient care.

​

UNR's Lombardi Lab advances research into the biological mechanisms underlying ME/CFS, including the role of the immune system, mucosal health, and the gut–brain connection. The Lab also supports the next generation of ME/CFS scientists by providing research opportunities, mentorship, funding, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

​

By investing in both scientific discovery and young researchers, we aim to accelerate progress toward improved diagnostics, treatments, and ultimately better outcomes for people living with ME/CFS.
