Australia to Launch its First ME/CFS Biobank and Patient Registry
Australian philanthropic trust the Mason Foundation will establish the first Australian national ME/CFS biobank and patient registry, with a $1 million grant. The grant consists of two components: the biobank and patient registry, and a research project which uses the samples stored in the biobank. This is significant news for the Australian ME/CFS community, and has been picked up by mainstream media.
