The landmark study, which involved scientists at King’s College London, published in Nature Medicine, highlights how the nervous system plays an important role in the development of the disorder. Fibromyalgia is characterised by widespread pain and tenderness, fatigue, and problems with sleep, memory and mood. Despite affecting about two per cent of the global population its biological causes have remained unclear. The results of this study are an important step towards resolving that uncertainty. The

🇮🇹 On Friday 26th June, Founders Factory is hosting a breakfast and demo day with our portfolio in Milan.
The event is for corporate innovation leaders who want to see what is being built at the frontier of applied AI, fintech and enterprise tech.
Over the past three years, Founders Factory has partnered with Mediobanca and Fastweb + Vodafone to build and scale more than 30 early-stage ventures, from novel AI infrastructure to consumer fintech and enterprise SaaS.
This is an opportunity to meet the founders behind those companies in-person, see their technology live and have direct conversations about the challenges and opportunities already on your roadmap.
Whether you are looking for emerging solutions, pilot partners or early investment opportunities, the morning is designed to make those conversations happen.
If you are a corporate innovation, strategy or technology leader based in or visiting Milan and would like to attend, register your interest via the link below and we’ll be in touch. 👇
