Researchers Dr. C. Gunnar Gottschalk and Dr. Avik Roy are pictured. Quote from Dr. C. Gunnar Gottschalk reads, "This funding from Solve M.E. will help us continue enrollment in our ongoing expanded phase and cover the cost of study drug and safety labs. Our goal is to develop a predictive test to identify which patients are more likely to benefit from rapamycin or other mTOR-targeted therapies.” At the bottom of the page are logos for Solve M.E. & the ME/CFS Catalyst Awards.
