2026 at a Glance

5 major research programs launched in 2026

100+ clinicians, researchers, and multidisciplinary experts united through CODA's research model

20+ complex, overlapping diagnoses represented in our research

Research Built Around the Whole Patient

Many people live with several overlapping conditions at once, such as Long COVID, ME/CFS, POTS/dysautonomia, EDS/HSD, MCAS, and more. CODA connects research across biological systems so that discoveries can lead to more targeted treatments for each patient.

2026 Research Programs

CODA Craniocervical Dysfunction Initiative (CODA CCD)
Uniting experts across disciplines to understand how craniocervical dysfunction may contribute to multisystem illness and to identify pathways for treatment research. Learn more about CODA CCD →

CODA Vascular Initiative
Led by Professor Resia Pretorius, investigating how blood flow, inflammation, and oxygen delivery relate to patients' symptoms, with the goal of launching therapeutic clinical trials. Learn more about the Vascular Initiative →

AI Science Initiative
Using data-driven research to identify patient subgroups that may share underlying biology, building the foundation for more precise studies.

Clinical Trials
Helping promising treatment approaches move into rigorous testing in patients.

Early Career Fellowships
Supporting the next generation of researchers working across domains to connect biological insight to therapeutic strategy.
