5th Invest in ME International ME/CFS Conference 2010 - A New Era in ME/CFS Research May 23, 2010

The conference slogan is A New Era in ME/CFS Research and the theme is education of healthcare staff in ME.

With the recent discovery of the xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) retrovirus in patients with ME/CFS we are witnessing a major breakthrough in the understanding and treatment of ME/CFS and in the implications in ME/CFS.
The education of healthcare staff about ME/CFS now needs to break with the past and reflect the new found knowledge about the pathogenesis of ME/CFS which high quality biomedical research is providing.

The conference will be oriented toward providing healthcare staff and others with knowledge of the latest research and the biomarkers which allow appropriate treatments to be prescribed.
