OMF Journal Club

In November 2025, we announced OMF Journal Club. When one of our centers publishes new research, Dr. Danielle Meadows, OMF’s Vice President of Research Programs, will host a live discussion about the paper. She’ll walk through the main ideas, the figures, and what the findings may mean for people with ME/CFS and Long COVID.

The first OMF Journal Club took place on December 17 and focused on a recent publication from the Melbourne ME/CFS Collaboration. Keep an eye out for the next research publication, which will include more information about how to join OMF Journal Club. 

Have questions about OMF’s publications, other aspects of our research projects, or OMF as a whole?

On January 21 at 1:00pm ET, Linda Tannenbaum (CEO and Founder) and Danielle Meadows, PhD (VP of Research Programs & Operations) will host a webinar with the objective of answering your questions about OMF and its research. If you’d like to be a part of the conversation, you can submit your questions and register for the webinar “Inside OMF: Your Questions, Our Answers” below.
