Open Medicine Foundation is spearheading chronic complex disease research that follows patterns of success and benefits from collaborating with leading scientists and clinicians from around the globe. These experts bring to our foundation their expertise in immunology, virology, genomics, informatics, molecular biology, epidemiology, infectious disease, oncology, pathology, and clinical medicine. The current focus is on ME / CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / systemic exertion intolerance disease), with the expectation that discoveries in this disease will bring answers to other diseases that share some of the symptoms (such as Long COVID, fibromyalgia and chronic Lyme disease).

Our Scientific Advisory Board decides what research strategies will most likely lead to reliable diagnostic biomarkers and treatments. We fund research initiated by our advisory board and research designed by others. Because some of our advisory board and foundation board members are personally touched by the devastation of ME / CFS, we are strongly motivated to grab every opportunity for progress so that the joys of a healthy life are restored to all who suffer from these chronic complex diseases. This has led to varied partnerships and collaborations around the globe.

A great research strategy is not enough. To succeed, a foundation must have funding. With optimism and creativity, we are determined to reach our aggressive funding goals, filling a huge gap in the history of these diseases. Appropriate research funding is long overdue. Find an update of current studies funded by us. We are convinced that answers are readily available if we apply the best resources in a large-scale concerted effort. We aim to use the right tools with the right people to deliver actionable results.
