Some news from the recently formed ME/CFS Discovery Research Network (MDRN), a group of Australian researchers collaborating on ME/CFS, about their upcoming research workshop. This group includes members of Melbourne Bioanalytics: Chris Armstrong, Neil McGregor and Don Lewis. I’ll post an update after the workshop on Saturday.

Research Workshop 2018
ME/CFS Discovery Research Network (MDRN)

Organisers: Dr. Sarah J. Annesley (La Trobe University), Mr. Jim Chambers, Prof. Paul Fisher (La Trobe University).

“The MDRN is a network of collaborating researchers established early in 2018 to formalise existing collaborations amongst ME/CFS researchers at five Australian universities (La Trobe University, University of Melbourne, Monash University, Victoria University and the ANU). All of the MDRN researchers are working in collaboration with others in the network and with the CFS Discovery Clinic of Dr. Don Lewis. Research outcomes are reviewed by the Clinic for their possible value in clinical practice. MDRN researchers enjoy collaborative links with multiple international researchers in the field and have collectively published 60 biomedical research papers on diverse aspects of ME/CFS.

The first MDRN research workshop will take place at La Trobe University on Saturday, 8 December 2018. This is a closed workshop that will bring together all MDRN researchers to present their research and discuss current and future collaborative research directions. After the workshop the MDRN will report back to the ME/CFS community with non-confidential, significant highlights.”
 
This wet my appetite
5. Clin Assoc. Prof Neil McGregor (Uni. Melb/Bio21)
A metabolome analysis of patients with MECFS revealed the glycolytic regulator issue already published but analysis of post exertional fatigue revealed anomalies consistent with a specific DNA and cytoplasmic regulatory metabolite. Analysis of the published genetic studies revealed anomalies with DNA regulation related to the metabolie found in the patient study. This strongly supports the findings for MECFS patients and will form the basis of future investigations.

What did he just find!!!!!! Can't wait to hear more - hopefully at the Emerge Conference coming up very soon!

I keep always thinking about this from September....
