OMF ACCELERATES RESEARCH ACROSS THE GLOBE
Since our inception in 2012, Open Medicine Foundation (OMF) has raised over $40 million to fund open, collaborative research and improve health care for millions suffering with multi-system chronic, complex diseases (msCCD). Our disease focus includes Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Long COVID, Post-Treatment Lyme Disease, and Fibromyalgia.
We have facilitated and funded the establishment of 7 collaborative centers across the globe. These centers are dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and ultimately curing these related chronic, complex diseases.
Open Medicine Foundation is a US based global nonprofit, with an affiliate organization in Canada (OMF Canada) and a foreign branch in Australia (OMF Australia). Our 18 member Scientific Advisory Board is world renowned and includes a Nobel Laureate and 5 National Academy of Sciences members.
