MECFS Collaborative Research Center at Stanford University

MECFS Collaborative Research Center at Stanford University The ME/CFS Collaborative Research Center at Stanford University
aims to discover a molecular diagnosis, causes, and a cure for ME/CFS. Dr. Ronald W.

The ME/CFS Collaborative Research Center operates within the Stanford Genome Technology Center. The research is directed by Dr. Ronald W. Davis, PhD, Professor of Biochemistry and Genetics and Director of the Stanford Genome Technology Center. The scientists work in collaboration with scientists and doctors from many disciplines, from all over the world. Similarly, for research on ME/CFS, we recru

it world class scientists and doctors with different specialties for collaborations or to fund their independent work. This disease affects many systems of the human body, requiring a diversity of knowledge to unlock its secrets. Increasing the diversity of specialties of the researchers will mean that all aspects of this disease are considered in our effort to understand ME/CFS at the molecular level, not just the โ€œsymptomโ€ level. Thus, the Center will increase the participation of the mainstream scientific community in ME/CFS. Involving well known prestigious university and research institute scientists with a track record of government funding will not only impact ME/CFS directly by generating new knowledge, but will also have a ripple effect in generating awareness and legitimacy for this devastating disease. The Center is dedicated to research of the highest quality with openly shared data (in compliance with confidentiality laws). This kind of research opens new opportunity for discovery, since it will utilize state-of-the-art methods and technologies that have never before been applied to ME/CFS, and will employ a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach, which will investigate all aspects of ME/CFS in a comprehensive manner. Davis, who already has demonstrated success in this approach, is uniquely positioned to spearhead this attack on ME/CFS at the molecular level.

Ron Davis's message of hope for 2025 and plea for help

by Ronald W, Davis, PhD.

Dear ME/CFS Community,

I think of you all every day as I work to untangle the complex molecular basis of this horrific disease. We have made a lot of progress lately, and many scientists around the world are taking the data and making much more informed hypotheses about the causes and potential paths to treatments. I am very optimistic that soon the major mechanisms that initiate the disease will be found. This will allow a concerted effort to reverse the process and find a cure.

This work requires funding and unfortunately, NIH is not very supportive and funds very little ME/CFS research. So I must ask all of you - patients, parents, family, loved ones, friends, supporters - to donate to my research so it can move forward as fast as possible. The more funding I have, the faster I can make progress and the more projects I can take on at one time. This significantly speeds up research and the hopeful discovery of a cure.

If you can, please donate to my sonโ€™s birthday fundraiser, where 100% of your donation goes directly to my research.

Right now we have multiple projects making progress. Projects on the itaconate shunt, Manganese, BH4, neutrophils, red blood cell deformability, genetics, pathogen hunting, and oxidative damage. We constantly communicate and collaborate with the best researchers around the world. We are working with an excellent team at the University of Utah who have developed three different animal models of ME/CFS and Long Covid - bacterial, mouse and zebrafish. This is allowing us to test all known drugs and multiple supplements and natural products, some of which are demonstrating an ability to block the disease process. Taken together, this work fills me with hope that my son and all of you will have some treatment possibilities quite soon. Please hang in there. We are with you every day and I send you all my love and solidarity.

Thank you all so much for whatever you can contribute and may all ME/CFS patients be cured as soon as humanly possible.
