Earlier in the year the patient community raised the funds necessary to bring Dr Lipkin across to the UK to take part in the CMRC Bristol Conference (see below). As part of this visit it is fantastic news that he will also be able to hold a 2 hour seminar in London and that tickets are so relatively cheap at only £5:

We are delighted to announce that leading US-based researcher Professor Ian Lipkin will be guest speaker at a seminar being held jointly by Action for M.E. and the ME Association in London on Wednesday 3 September.
The seminar will take place from 10am to noon at the offices of Allen & Overy, at One Bishops Square, London E1 6AD and is open to anyone interested to hear about Prof Lipkin’s work focused on infection and M.E./CFS.
Find out how you can attend. Tickets cost £5 per person to contribute towards the cost of the event and include refreshments (tea, coffee, biscuits – incl. dairy/gluten-free – and fruit) between 9.30 and 10am.
Sonya Chowdhury, Chief Executive of Action for M.E. said, “I am absolutely delighted and thrilled that Prof Lipkin is able to be our guest speaker. This is a rare opportunity to hear an internationally-renowned physician and scientist, now working in the field of M.E./CFS, at first hand. It promises to be a fascinating event.”
Dr Charles Shepherd, Medical Adviser to The ME Association, said: “This is a unique opportunity for people to come and listen to one of the world’s leading experts in virology speak about the the role of infection in ME/CFS. And many thanks to everyone who donated to the appeal to bring Professor Lipkin to speak at both the UK Research Collaborative conference in Bristol and now at this extra meeting in London."
Prof Lipkin, who is based at Columbia University in New York, has been funded by the M.E. community to present to researchers at the UK CFS/ME Research Collaborative (CMRC) conference in Bristol on 1 and 2 September.
While at the conference, he will also participate in a session with members of the wider M.E./CFS community to explore how to enhance patient and public involvement in shaping the research agenda.
