Under the guidance of our scientific advisory board director, world-renowned geneticist Ronald W. Davis, PhD, Open Medicine Foundation (OMF) has brought together expert scientists and clinicians for a bold international collaborative research project coined “The End ME/CFS Project.”
OMF’s goal is to help fund this project to develop a diagnostic tool, deliver treatments, and ultimately find a cure for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME / CFS).
Using my expertise in clinical systems biology in the fields of medicine, genomics, proteomics, and computational biology, I hope to establish a new paradigm for how ME/CFS is understood, diagnosed, managed and treated.
A vital part of The End ME/CFS Project is to financially support goal-directed research centers that work collaboratively with each other and the global research community of scientists and clinicians. The strategy is to constantly remain focused on fast-tracking research so that diagnosis, treatments, and a cure can be available to patients as soon as possible. This method of funding a research network ensures the persistence of a long-term, committed, and multi-pronged research initiative.
Millions are needed annually to support The End ME/CFS Project. OMF have set an aggressive goal to raise $20+ million per year from grants and donations. Join the campaign to end Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME / CFS) by donating, ask your friends, family, and peers to give to the ground-breaking research.
These initiatives stand to impact millions whose lives have been overturned by ME/CFS.
OMF has funded the launch of four Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME / CFS) Collaborative Research centers. The centers and their working groups are building a repository of data using a series of innovative analytical techniques and multi-omics platforms (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics). Currently, this data is informing the development of diagnostic technologies, hypotheses of the underlying cause of the disease, and potential treatments to trial.
