Last updated

Sonya Marshall-Gradisnik is a professor of immunology and the director of the National Centre for Neuroimmunology and Emerging Diseases at Griffith University. [1] [2] She is known for her immunological, genetic and calcium channel dysfunction work on myalgic encephelomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). [2]

Her work on calcium channel dysfunction might help explain findings of natural killer cell dysfunction in ME/CFS. [3] She co-authored the International Consensus Criteria for ME/CFS. [4] and created the largest Australian biobank for ME/CFS research. [5] She has also done research on Gulf War Illness, including on calcium channel dysfunction. [6] Her work has further focussed on the overlap between ME/CFS and Long COVID, again focused on calcium ion channel dysfunction. [7] [8]

Marshall-Gradisnik did her Bachelor at Griffith University, and her PhD at Southern Cross University in Australia. [5] Before her professorship at Grittith University, she was associate professor at Bond University. [9]
