£5k to go to reach £520k funding target for Invest in ME Research Rituximab Fund.
http://www.investinme.org/ce-news-1706-05.shtml
This includes funding the research on B-cells led by Dr. Jo Cambridge at UCL.
The UK text code below links with this JustGiving page, where you can donate from any country: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/ritux4meuk
Extra info:
This work has been developing with close collaboration between UCL, UEA, Quadram Institute Biosceinces(formerly IFR), Oxford University and the Norwegian researchers at Haukeland in Bergen, Norway. The latter will visit again in the autumn; their visit in January prompted an update on the Invest in ME Research Centre of Excellence projects by regional BBC Look East.
A Senior Research Associate post has been advertised to assist with clinical trials.
Those links are on the last update here.
