LOS ANGELES, July 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Solve ME/CFS Initiative (Solve M.E.) today announced the official launch of the You + M.E. Registry and Biobank, a resource of clinical information, patient-reported symptoms, and bio samples that can be used by researchers to better understand Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) or ME/CFS.
"ME/CFS is one of the few remaining, highly prevalent diseases about which much is still unknown," said Dr. Sadie Whittaker, Solve M.E. Chief Scientific Officer. "The You + M.E. Registry and Biobank allows us to leverage the power of big data, which I firmly believe will transform our understanding of this disease, helping the scientific and medical communities identify causes and treatments."
There is emerging evidence that many individuals who contract COVID-19 are suffering with persistent symptoms that are reminiscent of ME/CFS. To better understand the reasons behind this, the You + M.E. Registry and Biobank is designed to gather valuable data from individuals with persistent post-COVID-19 effects alongside those diagnosed with ME/CFS and healthy controls.
