Are you a Gulf War veteran? This is the page for the Gulf War Illness Research Consortium centered in Boston, MA and led by Dr. Kimberly Sullivan of Boston University. We are looking for veterans for a one-day research study.
This consortium consists of a team of experts from several disciplines that will provide further understanding to the pathobiology of Gulf War Illness. The consortium believes that Gulf War Illness is not only a multi-symptom illness but also a multi-system illness requiring experts from multiple disciplines from leading academic and government agencies working together to solve. As a team of researchers working together, we believe that we can vastly increase the understanding of the pathobiology of Gulf War Illness and develop targeted treatments for its symptoms through this highly collaborative research consortium.
Goal:
The primary goals of the study are to identify biomarkers of Gulf War Illness that can be used in diagnosis and for identifying mechanisms that can be targeted for treatment trials.
We are currently recruiting veterans to participant in this research at sites in Boston, Miami and Texas.
