Temporally Resolved Omics Tracking of ME/CFS

Woman researcher doing a blood test

This study seeks to understand the biological mechanisms driving the symptomatology of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) using metabolomic and lipidomic high-throughput analysis and high-frequency blood sampling over a 6.5 to 7.5 hour period conducted at two separate sites (Melbourne and Uppsala).

Long COVID Clinic Studies

The clinic in Uppsala continues the work of the OMF-Funded MultiCenter Collaborative Study on COVID to ME/CFS progression.

Home Visit Study

This study provides a unique opportunity to bring the lab directly into patient homes and provide immediate analysis of samples over an extended period of time.

This longitudinal approach without the invasive and/or PEM-induced measures will be vitally important in other patient cohorts and will decrease the study impact on patients from using more invasive and impactful measures (use of 1 peripheral vein catheter for all blood samples, limits the impact on patients).

Deep Proteome and Metabolome Profiling

Decode the molecular mechanisms underlying ME/CFS and contributing to specific symptoms with a particular emphasis of post-exertional malaise (PEM). This includes deep phenotyping of ME patients and global proteomic/metabolomics plasma profiling of ME..

Autoimmunity and Autoantibodies

The aim is to investigate potential differences in adrenergic and muscarinic receptor autoantibody levels in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid samples between ME/CFS patients and healthy controls.

Post-viral Encephalopathy

This study provides an excellent opportunity to understand the mechanism of long-lasting viral-induced cognitive complications, commonly referred to as “brain fog.”

Kynurenine Trial in ME/CFS

The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether kynurenine is directly connected to ME/CFS patient symptom severity.
