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. |
