The Winchester-based ME/CFS Alliance, in collaboration with Professor Sir Stephen Holgate, is spearheading a symposium of UK and international scientists, clinicians, stakeholders, ME charities, ME/CFS patients, their families and supporters, to discuss the next strategic steps of ME research.

Last August, DeCodeME published ground-breaking results identifying eight genetic markers in ME sufferers that are a roadmap to the next level of research that could finally uncover the biomedical causes of the disease.

This event aims to bring together those at the forefront of ME research and build a network that can accelerate making ME and Long Covid a strategic priority in the UK.

Through presentations, discussion and workshops, we will look at the vital work being done right now, and the next steps needed to urge the UK government to fund further research into this debilitating condition.
