Dr. Abhijit Chaudhuri, consultant neurologist at the Essex Centre of Neurological Science, is now arguably the leading practising neurologist with an interest in ME/CFS/post-viral syndromes in Great Britain and Ireland.

Research on fatigue in common neurological disorders is the main theme of Dr. Chaudhuri's work. He takes special interest in myalgic encephalomyelitis
(ME) and did his PhD thesis on it.

His other areas of interest are multiple sclerosis, neuroimmunity, neurological infections and adult neurometabolic diseases.

Dr. Chaudhuri was involved in research looking at the spinal tissue of a few patients with ME

By the way, we would have liked to have had more talks but he wasn't free.
Also we would have preferred to have the Dublin talk a bit later in the day but Dr. Chaudhuri was not available.
