This event was part of the ME/CFS Research Roadmap Webinar Series, which took place between August 2023 and January 2024. The webinar focused on metabolism and speakers, including researchers and people with lived experience, described current research, knowledge gaps, and future research opportunities for ME/CFS.
The webinar series is part of a larger effort led by NINDS to develop a Research Roadmap for ME/CFS, which will identify research priorities to move the field toward translational studies and clinical trials. Learn more about the roadmap process on the NANDS Council ME/CFS Research Roadmap Working Group page.
