ME Research UK

ME Research UK is a national UK charity funding biomedical research into Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (also known as ME/CFS). Our principal aim is to commission and fund high-quality scientific (biomedical) investigation into the causes, consequences and treatment of ME, but we also have a mission to Energise ME Research.

The INVEST in ME community

We are an independent UK charity campaigning for bio-medical research into Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.), as defined by WHO-ICD-10-G93.3.
We have links nationwide and also internationally.
Our aim is to bring together like-minded individuals and groups to campaign for research and funding to establish an understanding of the Aetiology (causes), Pathogenesis (harmful effects) and Epidemiology (the pattern of distribution of a disease through a population) of M.E. This should lead to the development of a universal "Thumb-Print Test" that can confirm the presence of M.E. and, subsequently, medical treatments to cure or alleviate the effects of the illness.
Invest in ME want to establish a national strategy of biomedical research into M.E.
