MortenGroupOxford Given the increase in research, primarily related to long covid, does it feel like we’re getting closer to understanding these conditions?

Dr Ian Cookson I definitely think so. The general feeling I took away from the meeting was that these conditions will be treatable.

TreatyofWestphalia Dr Ian Cookson All about the funding. Good in the US with some large centres with funding. In the UK, tougher as we need hypothesis driven research projects to be competitive. These are coming. Getting MP's to lobby government would be a big help. The big funders won't ring fence funding.
