🆕 Blog! Ahead of #WorldMicrobiomeDay tomorrow, we share some of the ways we study microbiomes and in particular the human gut microbiome here at the Quadram Institute 🦠 buff.ly/02aUiUv

Previous studies have suggested that infections by certain microbes can trigger or worsen Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) 🦠 ✅ If you’re a woman aged 18-45, take part in our new study to better understand the role of microbes in the disease ➡️ buff.ly/WUzegml

Our thanks for the generosity of our supporters—truly making a difference. 💙 #MECFS #Philanthropy #Research www.justgiving.com/campaign/inv...

We are looking for 30 women with a confirmed ME/CFS diagnosis aged between 18-45 to take part in a new study. We’ll be comparing swabs samples to healthy participants, to identify any microbes potentially linked to ME/CFS 📊 If you’d like to help us, register to take part 📋 ➡️ buff.ly/WUzegml
