Invest in ME Research

Invest in ME Research (IiMER) is an independent UK charity facilitating and funding an international strategy of high-quality biomedical research into Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME, sometimes referred to as ME/CFS), and promoting better education and information about ME in order to raise awareness of the effects of the disease on patients and families and overcome ignorance amd misinformation about the disease.

The charity is working to sustain and augment a UK/European Centre of Excellence for translational biomedical research into ME that will facilitate progress in treating this disease. We prioritise education of healthcare professionals, policymakers, media, and the public.

Invest in ME Research is entirely volunteer-run, led by patients and parents. We have no salaried staff, ensuring that every donation directly supports biomedical research and advocacy.
