Not the first time we’ve heard of misdiagnosis of MS and unfortunately it won’t be the last. Our educated Lyme community always knows to ask “could it be Lyme?”. We wish Christina the best possible outcome and an accurate diagnosis on her health journey.

This year’s ILADS theme, Reframing Complex Disease, challenged attendees to rethink long-held assumptions about chronic illness and its root causes. Nice overview from our friends at Lymedisease.org. Thank you for mentioning Lyme Disease Biobank as one of the highlights.

I recently returned from the 2026 Scientific Conference of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS) in Washington, D.C. This year’s

Read about new technology research being conducted at the Wyss Institute: “Our ultimate goal is to leverage these Organ Chip-borne insights to develop therapeutics that protect patients from developing chronic Lyme or even reverse this terrible condition.”
-DONALD INGBER, FOUNDING DIRECTOR & CORE FACULTY MEMBER
Wyss Institute

By Benjamin Boettner (BOSTON) — A year of generous funding by the Bay Area Lyme Foundation enabled a Wyss Institute project that aims to identify novel therapeutic strategies for acute and chronic Lyme disease (Lyme) to proceed into new and potentially therapeutic territory.

For many Lyme+ patients, managing care can mean navigating multiple providers, treatment plans, symptoms, and hundreds of pages of medical records. What if there were a tool designed to help make that process a little easier?

This is big news! Congratulations to Bay Area Lyme Ventures backed Galaxy Diagnostics. Thank you U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for your support of Lyme patients.

Big news for Galaxy – and one that means so much for our team, as well as the clinicians and patients who inspire our work!

Galaxy Diagnostics has been selected by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as one of five Excellence Prize winners in the LymeX Visible Voices Prize, receiving a $20,000 award!

Our winning resource helps clinicians recognize when cognitive and psychiatric symptoms may warrant investigation for Lyme and associated vector-borne infections.

Mental health symptoms can affect every part of a person’s life. Patients deserve care that addresses those symptoms while also investigating what may be contributing to them.

When an infection could be part of that puzzle, we want clinicians to know when to investigate and patients to know what questions to ask. We also want them to have the tools to take that next step.

That goal shaped this resource, which combines published research with our CEO ’s experience navigating her husband Russ’s illness.

We hope this recognition helps bring the possible role of infection into more conversations between patients and their doctors.

Thank you to HHS and the LymeX Visible Voices Prize team for recognizing this work, and to our team for bringing it to life. 💚
