Immune profile, gene expression study australia

[heapsreal]

Previously Bond Uni but now griffith uni(PHANU) on the gold coast in Queensland are doing another study on cfs/me where they are looking for 100 cfsers to volunteer for this study on immune profile/gene expression. 2 blood tests 1 in march and the other in july.
ncned@griffith.edu.au is where one can contact them .

good to see them continuing to do more research.

cheers!!

Good to see. Presumably they're looking for fresh blood (I.e. people who haven't had any treatments yet?)

Have you noticed most is all about genoma now?

Im hoping not. I have let them know what treatments im on (valcyte/immunovir) so hoping it doesnt exclude me. Other treatments that may exclude someone i guess would by larger doses of steriods like prednisone or other drugs that alter the immune system.

For "locals" only? I would think you could easily get 100 in Australia, right?

Does local mean near the uni? Or just in Australia?

I'm in Northern NSW and would travel to be involved, but so far my emails have not had any response
