Mary Ann Fletcher, Ph.D., has over 40 years’ experience in laboratory immunology and as a senior scientist in interdisciplinary research. She has been the Director of the E.M. Papper Laboratory of Clinical Immunology for over 30 years and oversaw its recent relocation from the University of Miami to NSU. Along with being a laboratory director, Dr. Fletcher has been an Assistant Professor in Medicine and Immunology, and is currently the Institute’s first Schemel Professor for Neuro-Immune Medicine.
Dr. Fletcher has over 260 published articles in peer reviewed journals and book chapters. Her particular research focus is on the identification of clinically useful biomarkers in complex multi symptom illnesses such as HIV, ME/CFS and GWI.
Her research has been funded by the National Institute of Health, the Veterans Affair, and the Department of Defense. Dr. Fletcher also holds 2 U.S. patents for developing diagnostic tests related to infectious mononucleosis.
In addition to her current role as a CLIA certified Clinical Laboratory Director and Endowed Professor, Dr. Fletcher is on the manuscript review panel for multiple journals including the Annals of Internal Medicine, the Journal of Immunology, and Brain Behavior and Immunity. Dr. Fletcher is also a member of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Advisory Committee which advises the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services.
