BRMEC11 Colloquium 2022
The eleventh Invest in ME Research Biomedical Research into ME Colloquium (BRMEC11)—"ME and Long Covid: Emerging insights in mechanisms and complexity of post-viral fatigue"—took place in London over two days: 18th–19th May 2022.
Developing deeper insights into ME mechanisms and Long Covid research connections.
ME, and more recently Long Covid, place a huge burden in healthcare yet the capacity of research has continually been
restricted by limited funding.
With developments around research into Long Covid and with the similarities of some symptoms to those experienced by people
with ME then this topic was also included as a central component of the agenda and a number of
presentations concerning ME and long covid were given with a focus on the aetiology of the disease.
The knowledge and the road travelled by ME researchers and clinicians is an invaluable aid for understanding long Covid.
Understanding the viral and immunological mechanisms behind both of those conditions is the key to making progress.
