&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;CureME&#039;&#039;&#039; is a British research group at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), undertaking clinical &amp;amp; biomedical research into [[ME/CFS]]. The team is led by [[Luis Nacul]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://cureme.lshtm.ac.uk/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Biography==&lt;br /&gt;
The group conducts clinical, epidemiological and laboratory research into ME/CFS, and is comprised of a clinical team led by [[Luis Nacul]] and [[Eliana Lacerda]] and a laboratory team led by Hazel Dockrell and Jackie Cliff.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://cureme.lshtm.ac.uk/about-us/cureme-team/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group is midway through an eight-year major study into ME/CFS funded by the [[National Institutes of Health]], which is seeking to create results through integrated desk and laboratory research, over an extended timespan and using a large number of participants.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://cureme.lshtm.ac.uk/our-studies/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The team is overseen by a Steering Committee that includes researchers, partner charities and patient/carer representatives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The UK ME/CFS Biobank==&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011, the team founded a biobank, hosted by the University College London Biobank at the [[Royal Free Hospital]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://cureme.lshtm.ac.uk/about-us/history-of-the-biobank/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_fPLSKnTCU Action for M.E. AGM 2013 part three]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Biobank was initially funded with support from [[ME Research UK]], the [[ME Association]] and [[Action for ME]]. Ongoing funding has been provided by the [[ME Association]] and the US [[National Institutes of Health]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://blogs.lshtm.ac.uk/news/2013/06/28/uk-mecfs-biobank-project-awarded-1-million-grant/ UK ME/CFS Biobank project awarded £1 million grant]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.meassociation.org.uk/research2015/current-research2015/ Current Research 2015]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Biobank holds over 30,000 aliquots of blood from people with ME, MS and healthy controls, with accompanying clinical data. In 2016 the Biobank&#039;s samples were made available to researchers around the world, and any researcher can apply to use samples and/or clinical data, subject to application approval and ethical clearance.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://cureme.lshtm.ac.uk/researchers/accessing-the-biobank/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
