Dr Karl Morten - UK researcher based at Oxford University

That sounds interesting! I hope they'll work closely with the community if they get the grant, because sometimes there seem to be nearly as many understandings of PEM as there are people who get it.

Very interesting. He attended the PEM workshop organised on Eventbrite by Ian Bruce when he chaired the Delivery plan Research Working Group. That had two patient speakers at the start.

The Morten team have a new paper out:
Dysregulation of lipid metabolism, energy production, and oxidative stress in [ME/CFS], [GWS], and Fibromyalgia, 2025, Davis, Morten et al

It's looking pretty disappointing. In my view, this team has to do better than that in order to look like a good place to put research funding.

That paper was written by a hodge podge of other authors as well as the Morten team:

True, but I don't think that makes things any better, if that is what you are implying with that observation. Karl Morten is the senior author, a person based in his team is the first author. The Morten team seem to collaborate with at least some of these researchers, some of whom have produced work that has raised concerns in the forum.

I'm not saying that there is a permanent problem here. I'd love to see some high quality work come from the Oxford team.
