Our research strategy and the research funded by the charity. IIMER is facilitating and funding a strategy of biomedical research into ME. The charity is currently funding important research projects for ME in the UK and Europe. The main hub of research is in the Norwich Research Park with the Quadram Institute and University of East Anglia. The charity is also supporting the development of fundamental research into ME in Europe by supporting collaborative projects and discussions.
Read MoreOur proposal for a UK Centre of Excellence for ME. Translational biomedical research - an iterative feedback of information between the basic and clinical research domains in order to accelerate knowledge translation from lab to bedside and back to lab again - allows translation of findings in basic research more quickly and efficiently into medical practice to produce more meaningful health outcomes and facilitate the sharing of repositories and research-based facilities and laboratories. This is the model that we are supporting for a Centre of Excellence for ME in Norwich Research Park.

The charity also initiated the European ME Research Group (EMERG), European ME Clinicians Council (EMECC) and Young EMERG for young/early career researchers in order to build collaborative research and clinical expertise in Europe.
Read MoreOur annual international research Colloquiums/Conferences attract researchers from around the world in order to discuss experiences and open up collaborations and discover answers for this disease. Despite limited resources the charity has facilitated new directions in research and enabled barriers to be broken down between different areas of science, bringing together biomedical research from different disciplines. By facilitating and initiating these links far quicker progress can be made in finding the cause of this disease.
Read MoreRaising awareness and advocating for the future of patients and their families has been part of the charity's work since it was formed.
