Research summary

Marshall V. Williams studies persistent herpesviruses (such as Epstein-Barr virus, HHV-6, and HSV-1) and how proteins they produce, especially a viral enzyme called dUTPase, may trigger immune and inflammatory responses linked to chronic illnesses. His work connects viral reactivation to conditions like myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), long COVID, Gulf War illness, and certain virus-associated cancers such as lymphomas.
