In this episode, we explore a groundbreaking development in the diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS/ME) — a condition that affects millions worldwide, yet remains notoriously difficult to identify…

Joining the podcast to discuss this topic are Alexandre Akoulitchev and Dmitry Pshezhetskiy, who break down a novel blood test designed to detect biological signatures associated with chronic fatigue. Their work centers on cutting-edge epigenetic science and biomarker discovery, offering new possibilities for more objective and earlier diagnosis of complex, hard-to-measure conditions.

Hit play to discover:

  • How a blood-based biomarker test may help identify chronic fatigue syndrome.

  • The role of epigenetics in understanding complex, "invisible" illnesses.

  • The four key symptoms of ME/CFS, and why it's so difficult to diagnose.

  • How inflammation signals can contribute to chronic fatigue.

Alexandre Akoulitchev is a molecular biologist specializing in genome regulation and chromatin architecture. He is a cofounder of Oxford BioDynamics and the creator of its EpiSwitch biomarker platform. He earned his PhD in cell biology from University College London.

Dmitry Pshezhetskiy is a Professorial Research Fellow at Norwich Medical School and an academic clinician focused on cancer biology and therapeutic research. He completed his academic training at Moscow State University, MontrΓ©al institutions, and leading research centers in France, building a strong background in molecular medicine and translational research.
