He has begun to look at the genetics of ME/CFS, and to investigate whether immune changes are apparent in people with ME. He is funded by the MRC, Wellcome, Action for ME and the CSO.

There will be a break for refreshments in the middle of the talk and also a chance to ask questions. The talk is free but donations for refreshments are welcome.
