With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Rowe has made significant contributions to the field through his research, patient care, mentoring, teaching, advocacy, and awareness efforts.
Since 1996, Dr. Rowe has served as the director of the Johns Hopkins Children's Center Chronic Fatigue Clinic in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. He is also a professor of Pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. In 2007, he became the inaugural recipient of the Sunshine Natural Wellbeing Foundation Chair in Chronic Fatigue and Related Disorders at Johns Hopkins University.
Dr. Rowe's groundbreaking research began with the identification of a subset of chronic fatigue patients who also had dysautonomia, leading to an overwhelming response of 5,000 calls seeking more information or referrals to the clinic. Continuing his research, he has explored the relationship between ME/CFS, dysautonomia, and hypermobility in patients.
As a leader in the field, Dr. Rowe is frequently invited as a guest speaker at ME/CFS conferences and has served as an expert on the "Committee on the Diagnostic Criteria for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" for the 2015 Institute of Medicine report and was recently honored by Solve M.E. for his exceptional contributions as a medical provider, researcher, educator, and advocate within the ME/CFS and now Long COVID communities.
Dr. Rowe's dedication to research, patient care, and advancing knowledge in the field is unmatched. His commitment, compassion, empathy, determination, intelligence, and sense of humor have made him a trusted and highly regarded figure in the medical community. Supporting and learning from Dr. Rowe's work remains crucial as we address the growing epidemic of these complex illnesses.
Most importantly, he seeks understanding of and for his patients. We are grateful for his contributions to our community and this conference!
