Quadram Institute launches new clinical trial into ME
One of the aims of the public meeting is to understand attitudes towards FMT and its use in the future trial for ME, before the study is submitted for ethical approval.

Professor Simon Carding from the Quadram Institute and the University of East Anglia is leading the study, which also involves colleagues from UEA, the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and East Coast Community Healthcare. Members of the team will be talking about their roles in the new trial.

Professor Carding will summarise the ongoing ME research and introduce the FMT trial, Dr Ngozi Elumogo, Consultant Clinical Microbiologist, NNUH will speak on safety of FMT and UEA’s Dr Andrew Atkin will explain how monitoring activity objectively will be one of the outcomes that will be assessed.

• The event is being organised with Invest in ME Research and takes place on Friday February 7, 12:30 – 15:00 in the Quadram Institute.
