HANSON, FLUGE AND MELLA JOIN OMF SAB!!!

I wonder how this will inform the direction their research takes. Autoimmune, PDH, new cancer drugs, all of the above?

 

[lemonworld]

This is so encouraging! Thank you

 

[junkcrap50]

Great news!

Is there any latest news relating to their research from any of these researchers, including Dr. Davis?

Wherever the evidence takes them!

International research collaboration on behalf of ME/CFS, thank you to OMF for being a world leader in trying to crack this disease.

 

[Grigor]

Yeah I felt a bit like a teenage girl seeing Take That for the first time. Didn't you all feel like that??
Never thought I would get that excited about scientists. Awesome news.

 

[kiwigirl29]

Oh my oh my this is so exciting and gives hope.

 

[Groggy Doggy]

The M.E. Dream Team!!

I´m really glad that Hanson is on the board, I hope this means that Davis and his team will start looking at the gut for the source of the metabolic dysfunction he has found. I guess he is keeping his mind open about this though, as Fluge and Mella are probably coming at this from a different angle.

Think I recall Davis once saying that they "follow the data".

 

[Pendergast]

This is the best fusion possible! Even better than the chocolate+milk one!

 

[Alvin2]

This is great news, I got the e-mail mentioning this but only skimmed it.
I seem to recall Dr Davis not being very enthusiastic about Rituximab (am i remembering this correctly?), though if it does something its a good idea to figure out how and why so a better agent can be found/designed.

Collaboration among top ME researchers is the best news we could have !!!

Now we have an unbeatable team

BUT we need funding . Donation made !!!

 

[dangermouse]

Brilliant news. Made my day!

 

[suseq]

Agree with many comments already made. This is really good news. I have real hope and faith that the collaboration between this incredible OMF team led by Dr Davis will find the answers to the what & why of our illness and others beside. And likely they are going to fundamentally revolutionise current medical thinking and research in the process. What a year it's going to be, and can't wait for IIMEC12 to hear more. Thank you.

 

[jimells]

Hanson, Fluge, and Mella are three more reasons to disband the discredited and useless CMRC.

 

[msf]

I don´t think so, since only one of them is looking at microbes.

It's good to see associations between researchers in different countries formalised. The researchers involved have been brought together, meeting, sharing, discussing, planning collaborations, over the years via the annual international Invest in ME Conference and Colloquium events. The slogan for the 2016 events seems applicable:
'Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.' (Henry Ford).
Let's hope the momentum has built to the point of no return to the dark decades for ME/CFS research.

Rock stars. All of them.

Absolutely agreed. If it wasn't for iime and OMF we would have literally no hope.

Amazing work and it does provide so much hope, a coordinated effort will find solutions much more quickly than individual groups.
