Our five OMF funded collaborative research centers are conducting over 20 — you read that right, 20! — studies and trials to help find diagnostics, treatments and a cure for millions suffering from ME/CFS, Post-treatment Lyme Disease, and related chronic, complex diseases:
Severely Ill Patient Study
Metabolic Trap Study
Nanoneedle Diagnostic Tool
Red Cell Deformability and Blood Flow Study
T-Cell and Immunology Study
PASS/CAT: Artificial Intelligence (AI) Diagnostic Tool
Skeletal Muscle Study
Multi-omics Exercise Intolerance Study
Neuro inflammation Study
Mestinon Clinical Trial
Autoimmunity and Autoantibody Study
Kynurenine Clinical Trial
Post-viral Encephalopathy study
Multi-omics Study
Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) Study
Stress-Activated MicroRNAs Study
Nitrogen Hypothesis Study
And with COVID-19 top of mind, we are funding a
Post COVID-19 to ME/CFS Research Study:
The current COVID-19 pandemic offers an unprecedented opportunity to understand how a viral infection may convert to ME/CFS in some patients. The five ME/CFS Collaborative Centers have begun a unique, extensive, in-depth longitudinal molecular study following COVID-19 patients to determine the pathways involved in the maintenance of long-term symptoms in some patients, possibly converting to ME/CFS. They seek to learn about these pathways to develop biomarkers, novel drug targets, and new treatment and prevention strategies.
This is your last chance in 2020 to give the gift of hope
and invest in groundbreaking research
