The Office of Research on Women=92s Health, in collaboration with the
Trans-NIH ME/CFS Working Group, hosted an NIH State of Knowledge
Workshop on ME/CFS on April 7-8, 2011, to bring together patients,
advocates, and scientists from across the nation to review and discuss
the opportunities and gaps in ME/CFS research. Topics covered at the
workshop included overlapping categories to address the
multidisciplinary nature of the illness, including: infectious
diseases, systems biology, immunology, neurology, exercise physiology
and energy metabolism, diagnosis and biomarkers, treatment, and
opportunities for communication.
The report from the workshop is available here.
