Researching the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome has been of interest to undergraduate biochemistry major Molly Drosen. Molly, an undergraduate researcher with Dr. Avik Roy of Simmaron, has been investigating a gene (ATG13) as a likely cause. She has been testing lab mice who have been bred without the ATG13 gene to see if they would show fatigue after exercise. Molly will be a contributor on a paper that will detail findings on the ATG13 gene. In Focus Article.
