Congratulations to the research groups getting grants for further studies!
Announcing the 2017 SMCI Ramsay Award Program Results
October 31, 2017
The Solve ME/CFS Initiative is pleased to announce the 2017 Ramsay Research Program Awards. Now in its second year, the Ramsay Award is a competitive program that funds ME/CFS researchers at every stage of their careers.
The top 5 proposals selected for 2017 represent a diverse range of topics including immunology, bioenergetics, metabolomics, microbiome, and neuroendocrine biology.
Each award is funded for a one-year period with the possibility of extension. All proposals are subject to a rigorous peer review process.
“Through this program, we seek to encourage participatory investigations, accelerate new discoveries, and reduce barriers for entry into the challenging yet rewarding field of ME/CFS. This worldwide program is part of our organization’s overall research strategy to unravel the complexity of ME/CFS and find a cure.”
- Dr. Zaher Nahle, SMCI’s vice president for research and scientific programs.
Our 2017 Ramsay teams come from six countries and reflect a strong representation of women scientists. Go HERE to read more.
Team 1 (Sweden): Biomarkers for initiation (infection) and metabolic derangement in ME/CFS
Team 2 (USA & Spain): Effect of ME/CFS on epigenetic regulation in specific immune cell types
Team 3 (United Kingdom): Investigating alterations in the intestinal virome in CFS/ME
Team 4 (Germany): Immunometabolism of T cells and monocytes in ME/CFS
Team 5 (Israel): Deciphering antibody reactivities against autoantigens & the microbiome in ME/CFS
