    Every year I hope to go to this but nearer the time it becomes clear I'm not well enough to attempt it. Here's hoping 2018 will be different. Always a lot of very interesting stuff to come out of the conference.

    Along with the Norwegian Haukeland team, IiME Research have invited Professor Karl Johan Tronstad also to the Colloquium. Karl was involved with the 2016 paper from Bergen. "The Tronstad Lab investigates cell metabolism and mitochondrial biology and we are very fortunate that he can spare time to participate in the Colloquium." http://www.investinme.eu/IIMEC13-news-180106.shtml

    I made an offline donation today of the conference ticket price to help sponsor these events as, I've never been able to attend in person (only found out about IiME Research online after I was housebound): https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/fundraising-4me (this link is also in the Science for ME Fundraising Forum).

    New speaker for 2018: http://www.investinme.eu/IIMEC13-news-180206.shtml

    "Invest in ME Research is pleased to welcome Dr Peter Holger Johnsen from the University Hospital of North Norway, Harstad, Norway to participate in the IIMEC13 conference.

    Last year the team at Harstad was awarded funding for a double blinded controlled randomised trial with 78 ME patients and investigating the use of faecal transplants for ME.


    Dr Johnsen will also be participating in the BRMEC8 - the 8th Biomedical Research into ME colloquium."
