Cornell Center for Enervating Neuroimmune Disease aims to collect brain images (MRSs) from individuals with ME to study oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. Dr. Dikoma Shungu hopes to identify possible biomarkers for ME as well as add to the overall understanding of the disease. Who: Cornell Center for Enervating Neuroimmune Disease is collecting information from both ME patients
The Institute of NeuroImmune Medicine is collecting genetic data from 23andme or ancestry.com for 10,000 patients. Their aim is to generate computer learning programs will search for biomarkers that can be used to develop drug targets and diagnostic tests. Who: Dr. Klimas and Dr. Bested at NSU (Institute of Neuro Immune Medicine) When: Ongoing What: Click here to learn more. When: Ongoing
Brain tissue banks are able to provide ME researchers with samples to keep their research moving forward; Dr. Montoya and Dr. Plowey are accepting brain tissue from ME patients postmortem. Studying the brain tissue of ME patients is an important part of understanding more about the disease overall. Who: Dr. Montoya and Dr. Plowey at Stanford
Who: Cornell Center for Enervating Neuroimmune Disease What: The Center is collecting information from both ME patients and sedentary controls. You will first have a quick phone call to determine eligibility. If eligible, you will meet with a doctor (theirs or yours) to be examined or for blood and urine tests. Then you will complete questionnaires. Finally, you
Help advance biomarker research! The Bateman-Horne Center is actively recruiting patients and healthy controls who are eager to participate by providing samples and information. This is then used in ME/CFS and FM research to discover biomarkers, improve diagnosis, and advance treatment.
