NEWSBRIEF: Next year, the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) will open an $86 million Center for Molecular Medicine that will include headquarters of the Whittemore Peterson Institute for Neuro-Immune Disease, which will conduct clinical trials and offer treatment for conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and atypical multiple sclerosis.
The developers say the state-of-the-art facility will help them recruit top-notch researchers and faculty. The medical director will be Dr. Daniel Peterson, a leading chronic fatigue syndrome researcher.
A $5-million dollar donation for the facility came from Harvey and Annette Whittemore, whose daughter Andrea has lived with chronic fatigue syndrome for nearly two decades, since she was 12 years old. Annette Whittemore has been actively promoting chronic fatigue syndrome research since 1994.
