It aims to: *find out whether the Environmental Exposure Questionnaire (EEQ) can be used to assess for mycotoxin exposure in ME/CFS patients *assess if the mycotoxin exposure results in more severe symptoms in ME/CFS patients *future studies will use the blood samples collected to discover if there is a "specific immune or metabolic dysfunction, or epigenetic changes" related to mycotoxin exposure in ME/CFS patients<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.nova.edu/nim/research-studies/research-studies-pages/INIM-studies/19-20-PFRDG-mecfs-page.html | title = 19-20 PFRDG Detecting Mycotoxin Subgroup | last = | first = | authorlink = | date = | website = Nova Southeastern University|language=en|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2020-06-07}}</ref> == Clinical Nutrition Profile for ME/CFS == The Clinical Nutrition Profile (CNP) project aims to create a profile of people with ME/CFS based on nutritional biomarkers, their dietary intake and other clinically relevant data. By investigating nutritional patterns and deficiencies associated with the ME/CFS it could help "identifying disease targets, improving overall organ system function, allowing body to heal and potentially resetting homeostatic function" to improve patient response to current treatments.<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.nova.edu/nim/research-studies/research-studies-pages/INIM-studies/CNP-page%20.html | title = Clinical Nutrition Profile for ME/CFS{{!}} Clinical Research | last = | first = | authorlink = | date = | website = NSU Institute for Neuro Immune Medicine|language=en|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2020-06-07}}</ref> ==Funding== ==Online presence== *[http://www.nova.edu/nim/index.html Website] *[https://twitter.com/NSU_INIM Twitter] *[https://www.facebook.com/NSUINIM/ Facebook] *YouTube *Location: {{Coord|25|41|19.992|N|80|23|27.455|W|display=title}} ==See also== ==References== {{Reflist}} [[Category:Research initiatives]] [[Category:American research initiatives]] [[Category:Clinics]] [[Category:American clinics]] [[Category:Florida clinics]]
