A UK Centre of Excellence for ME
Fastracking research into Myalgic Encephalomyelitis
UK charity Invest in ME Research
are working to establish a UK and European Centre of Excellence for ME – a centre which would exist
to bring discovery, knowledge, and effective treatments to patients with ME
and possibly, in future, other illnesses that are caused by acquired dysregulation of both the immune system and
the nervous system.
The Centre would become a Centre of Excellence in the treatment of ME in Europe and would attract researchers,
physicians and healthcare staff from around the UK and Europe and North America and Australasia.
It will also allow collaboration with other Centres of Excellence in other countries as the concept develops.
Who We Are
Invest in ME Research
Invest in ME Research (IiMER) was set up with the objectives of making a change in how ME is perceived and treated in the media, by health departments and by healthcare professionals. We aim to do this by identifying the three key areas to concentrate our efforts on - funding for biomedical research, education and lobbying. Invest in ME Research aims to collaborate and coordinate events and activities in these areas in order to provide the focus and funding to allow biomedical research to be carried out.
Invest in ME Research want to establish an international strategy of biomedical research into ME and establish a UK and European Centre of Excellence for biomedical research into ME. Please help make ME an illness which is properly understood and where adequate funding is provided for biomedical research into ME allowing treatments and cures to be found.

This Opportunity
Invest in ME Research have been facilitating research collaboration between individuals and organisations and are funding major research in the UK.
The charity's success in arranging eleven annual international biomedical research conferences and six international biomedical research
colloquiums demonstrates its determination and commitment to find a cause or causes for this devastating disease.
IiMER has European connections and originated and facilitated the formation of the European ME Research Group and links to other researchers and institutes in Europe and Australia and USA.
The foundations are therefore already in place to advance science and provide the promise of better treatment and possible restoration of function and lives back to a section of the community who have received very little help in the past.
Please help us to find the cause of this disease and develop effective treatments to permit patients to regain their lives.
