I find it difficult to know what specific research I would recommend, because I don't know where the answers will be found. If I knew where the answers will be found then it would be an easy question to answer. At the moment, we simply need a vast amount of extra funding. There are a number of researchers who I would like to see have access to unlimited funds (e.g. Klimas, Fluge/Mella, Ron Davis and team, Lipkin, Younger, the Lights, Hanson, and many more), but that's not the question they have asked. My best answer, that i can think of at the moment, is that I would like research to be focused at the cellular level (like Ron Davis is doing, and like they're doing in the NIH intramural study, and the UK's MEGA omics study). I.e. looking at the structure and function of cells and cellular apparatus. Omics would be a good start, and mitochondria are an obvious place to research, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. And also, I'd like a full scale investigation of autoimmune possibilities or auto-immune-like activity. For a long time, I've suspected that it might be fruitful to look for auto-immune-like activity that isn't caused by auto-anti-bodies, but that could be caused by e.g. abnormal cell receptors (cell receptors that are abnormal by frequency, function, type or structure). I'm not sure how advanced research into cell receptors is generally, but it seems like it could be an exceptionally complex, sophisticated, difficult and unexplored area of research. I'm not sure exactly how to go about communicating any of this to the NIH.
