OMF’s strategy focuses on collaboration so that precise diagnostic tools, life-changing treatments, and knowledgeable physicians can be available to people with chronic complex diseases as soon as possible.
OMF’s Scientific Advisory Board is an alliance of world-renowned researchers, including two Nobel laureates. They dedicate their time, passion, and expertise to ending ME/CFS and related multi-system chronic complex diseases (msCCD).
OMF researchers have launched an international study on COVID-19’s potential conversion to ME/CFS (“Long COVID”). This research provides incredible insight into the disease process . OMF’s goal is to find treatments and prevention strategies at an accelerated pace.
In partnership with Bateman Horne Center, The OMF Supported MERC will increase access to knowledgeable healthcare providers and improve patient care.
In 2006, OMF Founder & CEO Linda Tannenbaum’s 16-year-old daughter went from being a healthy teenager to severely ill overnight. She could not get out of bed, and all her energy had been drained. Her daughter had sudden onset ME/CFS. After visiting over 20 doctors, Linda quickly realized there was a huge gap in research – no treatments, diagnostics, or cure for ME/CFS exists.
In 2012, Linda set out to change this. She established OMF as a nonprofit organization with a mission to fundraise and facilitate large-scale research in search of diagnostic tools, treatments, and ultimately a cure. OMF’s board members, staff and volunteers that include patients and caregivers inspire, advise, and dedicate their time to this mission.
By 2014, Linda and renowned geneticist Ronald W. Davis, PhD, also a parent of a severely ill son, joined forces. Together they built OMF’s Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) of leading experts dedicated to our mission.
OMF has since raised over $40 million and leads the largest worldwide nonprofit effort to end ME/CFS and related msCCD. United by passion and scientific curiosity, our OMF Collaborative Research Network will not give up until answers are found. Your support ensures their success.
Millions of men, women, and children suffer from ME/CFS, Long COVID, and related multi-system chronic complex diseases. They DESERVE access to proper treatments and quality healthcare.
Every donation to Open Medicine Foundation Canada brings us one step closer toward finding diagnostic tests and treatments. Now is the time to triple your impact.
