Research Blog


This page is for the researchers funded by IiMER to communicate what they are doing, what experiences they have, what they think of research into ME, what they hope to achieve - and allow more communication with patients and the public.

We hope this will help more people understand ME and the possibilities and opportunities which are available and being created by a strategy of biomedical research into the disease.
