We are pleased to announce that Open Medicine Foundation (OMF) will attend the annual International ME Conference Week hosted by the UK charity Invest in ME Research.
The international ME conference week events now span five days, and this year are arranged for 26 – 30 May 2025. This unique set of events now encapsulates a workshop for young/early career researchers, a research Colloquium, a public international conference, and meetings of the European ME Research Group.
On May 30, the IIMEC17 (the seventeenth international ME conference), titled Translating Research Into Diagnostics and Treatments, will take place. This event invites patient groups, patients, and carers to share their knowledge. To learn more and register, visit IIMEC17.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Invest in ME for their continued dedication to bringing researchers together to drive meaningful progress in the fight against ME/CFS.
OMF’s Collaborative Research
Directors Annual In-Person Meeting
OMF’s Collaborative Research Center Directors from Harvard, Stanford, Montreal, Uppsala, and Melbourne hold monthly teleconferences to discuss research plans and share findings. However, our annual in-person meeting is a key moment for deeper collaboration.
This year, we will gather in Cambridge, UK, following the Invest in ME Research International ME Conference. Discussions will focus on research updates from OMF-funded projects, insights from our Computational Center’s network analysis, and major global discoveries. These conversations help refine our research priorities and identify promising targets for future clinical trials.
