CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia, March 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Biovista announced today that it has been awarded a prestigious research grant by the CFIDS Association of America to identify non-obvious mechanisms of the disease and potential drug repositioning candidates that will advance objective diagnosis and effective treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
