#youngEMERG representative Johanna Rohrhofer was present alongside @EMEA and @EMERG to advocate and present the agenda for WHO to officially recognise the seriousness of #MECFS in a meeting with Regional Director for Europe Dr Hans Kluge Read more here: youngemerg.com/ye-news2411-yo…

We are also very pleased to announce that #youngEMERG has officially joined the World Health Organization (WHO) youth4health initiative, where we will connect with early career researchers and engage ECRs in advancing #MECFS as a key health issue in Europe youngemerg.com/ye-news2411-yo…

Last year, Tina Katsaros, a PhD candidate working on a project funded by ME Research UK organised a festive online community event – #SpendChristmaswithME. The event was a great success, and ME Research UK would like to thank both Tina for organising and everyone who took part.

We've updated the CrunchME scientific conferences & events table with so-far announced details of 2025 events 📅 So if you're wondering what events lie ahead, check it out! Also includes links to recording from the previous event where available crunchme.notion.site/conferences

So excited that my first first-author paper is now published in Viruses! In this paper we looked at bias and reproducibility of RNA+DNA faecal virome metagenomic approaches, and compared reverse transcription and PCR amplification using WTA2 and SISPA. 1/4 mdpi.com/1999-4915/17/2…

Join us at this years #SPARKME workshop! Open to all early career researchers interested in or undertaking research in ME or related illnesses. Register using this link: youngemerg.com/yemerg05reg.sh…

A paper resulting from the work of IiMER-funded research at the #CofEforME in Norwich Research Park Cognitive Dysfunction in #MECFS — Aetiology and Potential Treatments Thanks to our supporters mdpi.com/1422-0067/26/5… #research UK/European Centre of Excellence for ME

What are the possible causes of cognitive problems in #pwME and how could we treat them? This is something we discuss in our latest collaborative #mecfs review!

Only two days remain to submit an abstract to present at the Young European ME Research Group SPARK ME workshop for early career researchers interested in #MECFS research, a multi-systemic illness involving the immune system British Society for Immunology, microbiome Microbiology Society and many more systems

📢 #SPARKME update! We're excited to announce the lineup of speakers for the #SPARKME workshop. youngemerg.com/yemerg05.shtml Alongside leading experts in #MECFS, we’ll feature early career researchers to present their research🌟 Lets introduce our speakers👇🧵

🔗 We’re honored to welcome Vicky Whittemore, who will give a keynote speech on the #NIH RECOVER initiative.

🧠 Kristian Sommerfelt will speak on "Neglected cohorts of #MECFS patient research". With decades of clinical experience, he brings an important view on which patients are being left out - and why that matters.

💻Next up is Deszö Módos, presenting "Using Multi-Omics and Network Biology to Understand Patient Heterogeneity". He will dig into how layered biological data can reveal what makes #MECFS complex and individualised.

🔍 Thomas Vyzikas from Horizon Europe will present: "Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions" and give us a valuable look at European funding support for early career researchers.

🛠️ Elisa Oltra will speak on: "Setting Up an ME/CFS Doctoral Network", sharing efforts to establish structured training and long-term research commitment through doctoral programs.

🧬 Matthias Wielschers talk "The Genetic Landscape of ME/CFS: What We Know and What Lies Ahead", will give an overview to better understand the genetic underpinnings of #MECFS.

👥 Gemma Beasy & Ruth Ajayi will co-present: "PPI and EDI of #MECFS Patients in Research". This talk will explore patient involvement and equity in research - and why this is important.

🗺️ Lastly, Benjamin Missbach will present: "ME/CFS Research Exchanges: Co-Design Workshop" and talk about laboratory rotations for #MECFS researchers.

Are you living with #MECFS or supporting someone who is? Help QIB design better remote studies via a 5–10 min anonymous survey. 🗣️ This is a Patient & Public Involvement activity, not a research study. ⏳ Deadline: 15 May 📎 redcap.quadram.ac.uk/redcap/surveys…

Thank you to everyone who has completed this survey so far! We welcome more responses to help us get an overview of the diverse needs of #MECFS, so that we can tailor our research studies and clinical trials to be more suitable and accessible for #pwME Survey link is below
