We fund biomedical research into ME to create a strategy for cure/treatment

Story

Our current £200k target for Invest in ME Research is towards a UK clinical treatment trial of faecal microbiome transplantation (FMT) in patients with ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) at Quadram Institute, Norwich Research Park.  Project description:  http://investinme.org/ce-proj3.shtml

This JustGiving page is run by Team Let's Do It for ME, patients aiming to help raise awareness of the Invest in ME Research Centre of Excellence for ME and funds enabling the biomedical research programme to get underway in 2014. 

The focus of the research is on the role of infection and immune system responses in ME including autoimmunity, starting with the gut microbiome. All research projects: http://www.investinme.org/ce-projoverview.shtml
