We are delighted that a leading member of the UK Biobank CureME team, Assistant Professor Eliana Lacerda, will be joined by Research Assistants, Kate Mudie and Shennae O’Boyle, to speak at our AGM and Conference about their work and the latest biomedical research.
A significant body of research into ME is currently being carried out by the team, based at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
The Biobank is the only resource in the world that includes samples from those most severely affected, the house or bed-bound, and is the premier resource outside of the United States for the study of the disease, having recently been awarded $2.1m (£1.57m) of grant funding from the United States National Institutes of Health.
