Finished just in time for Easter! Looking forward to starting experiments!
85/100 samples in the freezer! We now need to round out our control cohort. If you know anyone who is apparently healthy who might be interested in giving a sample to the project (with $20 reimbursement of time and expenses) please refer them to D.Missailidis@latrobe.edu.au

Pleased to share this research from my PhD in @graemecowan.bsky.social's lab! We replicated existing evidence of moderately increased IGHV3-30 usage in B cells of patients with mild/moderate, but not severe ME. www.frontiersin.org/journals/imm...

Nearly 20 home visits to people with ME done in the last two weeks (and a few with Long COVID as well). Many more to come. Thank you for your generosity. #MECFS #LongCOVID
