B-cell Research/UK Rituximab Clinical Trial
Pricing Tables Shortcodes
Invest in ME Research has created a separate strand to our Biomedical Research Fund which is explicitly used for the UK rituximab trial and asscociated B-cell research.
The progress bar to the right shows the current status of that fund.
It includes all donations and pledges of funding.
The total funding requirement for this trial was initially set at £350,000 with the caveat that this would be refined as we progressed the project and as the preliminary study began at UCL.
In fact, after an impressive campaign lasting a year, in August 2014 Invest in ME Research secured the initial target amount of £350,000.
This was a daunting task but not one that the charity had thought impossible to achieve.
IiMER's supporters rose to the challenge with positive campaigns which raised funds and awareness.
In order to build a trials protocol and identify likely responders the preliminary B-cell study has been underway at UCL. This was intended to lead to the clinical trial.
In order to continue B-cell study research in ME, and as part of the overall research portfolio that Invest in ME Research has with UCL, we committed ourselves to fund a new PhD studentship at UCL beginning in 2015. This would augment the proposed rituximab clinical trial, would secure the longer term research into ME and would continue the relationship which IiMER has built up with UCL [click here].
If you can support us in any way - by fundraising, by spreading word of this, by simply letting us know that you support us in this effort then we welcome that support.

A Strategy for Research, Treatment and Advocacy for ME
Invest in ME Research has been facilitating research collaboration between individuals and organisations and are funding major research in the UK.
The charity's success in arranging fifteen annual international biomedical research conferences and ten international biomedical research colloquiums and initiating
an international young/early career research network
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 (EMERG) and and the European ME Clinicians Council (EMECC) and facilitates collaborative links to other researchers and institutes in Europe and Australia and USA.
The foundations are 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.

DONATE to the BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH FUND
The Biomedical Research Fund (BRF) provides a means to fund biomedical research into ME and avoid the constraints or influence of policies which do not focus on researching ME properly. In addition education is a major part of biomedical research. Students need to attend conferences such as ours, healthcare professionals need to have the latest research presented to them regarding ME and researchers themselves need to meet, network and establish working relationships with each other. Researchers must also begin sharing data and working in co-operation.
Our aim is to build sustainable and developing collaborations with translational biomedical research at the heart of all research. The Invest in ME Research Biomedical Research Fund will be used for the following -
-
Biomedical Research into ME
-
Education Regarding ME
-
Conferences related to ME
-
Expenses in Sponsoring Presenters to Speak at Conferences
-
Cost of sponsoring PhD students performing biomedical research into ME
-
Set up and running of ME Clinic treating severely affected patients with ME
-
Assisting with equipment and other costs of researchers performing purely biomedical research into ME
Currently the focus of the BRF is toward the proposal for a UK examinations and research facility for ME. If you would like to help in raising funds please contact us.

HELP US FUND INVEST in ME RESEARCH CONFERENCES
The Invest in ME International ME Conferences are CPD accredited biomedical conferences which provide a platform for the latest information and biomedical research on myalgic encephalomyelitis. They attract the most renowned speakers from all over the world - and are valuable sources of education and information for healthcare professionals, doctors, nurses, researchers, ME support groups and people with ME. They provide an excellent insight into these areas and the issues currently facing the healthcare and ME patient communities. Our conferences and, later, our Colloquiums have been facilitating interaction and sharing of information between patients, researchers and clinicians for almost 10 years.
The Invest in ME International Biomedical Research into ME Colloquiums began as a way of bringing together researchers from around the world in a round-table discussion of ME research and ideas. Over the years this has broadened to sharing of experiences, data and plans. The charity has now put in place the key building blocks to take ME research into the 21st century with high-quality biomedical research in world class organisations being performed by some of the best researchers.This is a basis for a strategy of international biomedical research which will hold far greater promise of creating proper funding and awareness of biomedical research into ME.

DONATE to the GUT MICROBIOTA PROJECTs
The UK Gut Microbiota Research projects aim to find whether there is evidence of a leaky gut in ME patients, to test the hypothesis that ME is an autoimmune disorder originating in the gut as a consequence of altered intestinal permeability, to investigate whether the underlying causes of ME are related to the presence of specific virus populations within the gut virobiota, and aim to answer important questions concerning the role of the enteric phage/virome in ME .
These are research projects in the developing UK Centre of Excellence for ME.
