[1] Rowe worked at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario from 1987 to 1991, then returned to Johns Hopkins Medical School in 1991.
[1] In 2007 he was named the inaugural Sunshine Natural Wellbeing Foundation Professorship in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Related Disorders.
[2] Rowe’s research investigates the physiologic factors that contribute to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), including circulatory dysregulation,[3] allergic disorders,[4] joint laxity, biomechanical strain, and neuroanatomic problems.
[5] In this vein, Rowe and colleagues were the first to describe the relationship between CFS and orthostatic intolerance,[6][7] leading to the discovery of potential treatment for some of the symptoms of CFS,[8] a disease for which few scientifically validated treatment options exist.
He was also the first to identify an association between CFS and the heritable connective tissue disorder Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
