From ME Research UK
July 24, 2006
On Wednesday June 7, 2006 Dr Vance Spence and Dr Neil Abbot travelled to London for a presentation at the third oral hearing of the Group on Scientific Research into ME (Gibson Parliamentary Inquiry) in the Millbank offices of the House of Commons, London.
The Group was established by Dr Ian Gibson, Labour MP for Norwich North, who was a working scientist himself, latterly Dean of Biology at the University of East Anglia, was head of a research team investigating cancer, and had been awarded a ‘Champion’ award by Macmillan Cancer Relief. His aim behind the formation of the Group is to assess the progress of scientific research on ME on behalf of ME patients and researchers alike.
The terms of reference for the Group are
“to assess the progress of scientific research on ME, since the publication of the Chief Medical Officer’s Working Group Report into CFS/ME in 2002. In particular the group has been established to increase public understanding of scientific research into ME/CFS; evaluate progress in the development of a full programme of research into ME/CFS; identify research and funding requirements in establishing the cause of ME/CFS.”
Note: We highly recommend ME Research UK to those members and their families who are looking for cutting-edge material on ME research.
We know that many of our members are not able to concentrate on technical articles, but many are able to, and often family supporters are also looking for information – and prepared to work through technical and complicated material.
We also know that doctors and other health professionals use our site as a portal to other resources.
ME Research UK is an excellent resource, and kept up to date with new developments in the UK in particular. Set a favourite/bookmark at this page:
