Treating arthritis: right first time
The Manchester Musculoskeletal Biomedical Research Unit (BRU) is funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) to drive scientific breakthroughs in the laboratory through clinical assessment into improved outcomes for adults and children with musculoskeletal disorders.
A partnership between Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and The University of Manchester, we are one of only three Musculoskeletal NIHR Biomedical Research Units in the UK. Our priority is to assess and improve response in prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders in a co-ordinated innovated fashion across disease groups with the goal of ensuring that every patient receives timely, safe and effective treatment.
