Jarred Younger<\/strong>\u00a0(PhD), Director of the Neuroinflammation, Pain and Fatigue Lab at University of Birmingham at Alabama, received $2.9 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health<\/strong>\u00a0to complete a brain imaging study over the next five years.<\/p>

In a\u00a0pilot project<\/a>\u00a0funded by\u00a0Solve M.E.\u2019s Ramsay Grant Program<\/strong>, Dr. Younger\u2019s Ramsay study brought novel use of a neuroimaging technique called magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging (MRSI) to measure whole-brain differences in an ME\/CFS cohort. The researchers found metabolite and temperature differences in the brains of people with ME\/CFS compared to healthy controls; supporting a neuroinflammatory driver of the disease.<\/p>

The Ramsay seed funding was leveraged by Dr. Younger into a powerful R01 study that will replicate the use of MRSI in a much larger cohort of ME\/CFS and healthy control subjects. The study will also incorporate a longitudinal design in a smaller group of participants to correlate neuroimaging results with fluctuations in symptoms over time. Additionally, PET scan will be used to validate the MRSI findings.<\/p>

Solve M.E. Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Sadie Whittaker said, \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled that Dr Younger and his team have received this funding, and are glad to have played a small role in enabling him to generate some pilot\u00a0data as part of his Ramsay Program Grant.\u201d<\/p>
