Invest in ME Research is pleased to announce that it will be further supporting the Young EMERG group by providing grants to cover hotel expenses for some delegates attending the forthcoming Young EMERG International ME Workshop in Vienna.

The charity initiated the European ME Research Group (EMERG) young/early career researcher network - Young EMERG - to encourage and support new researchers into the field and to develop capacity.

To encourage and facilitate participation the award of accommodation grants has been made to applicants from around Europe.
This enables the delegates to fully participate in the event and meet other Young EMERG members.

Jordan McGing, Postdoctoral Research Assistant, University of Oxford, United Kingdom​

Jordan McGing is a Postdoctoral Research Assistant at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, specialising in metabolic imaging and the physiology of fatigue. As an early career researcher, he brings expertise from studies into fatigue aetiology, including recent work on muscle and metabolic function in chronic conditions such as Crohn’s disease and myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME).

Jordan has recently taken a leading role in the Valkolvic Group’s innovative project investigating the physiological mechanisms underlying post-exertional malaise (PEM) in ME, using advanced metabolic imaging and near-infrared spectroscopy to deepen understanding of skeletal muscle involvement in this condition.
