Our Research
The research underway at the Biomedical Research Unit moves scientific breakthroughs in the laboratory, through clinical assessment and into improved treatment for adults and children with musculoskeletal disorders such as arthritis.
Using the discoveries and breakthroughs from University science and translating these to clinical practice through clinical trials and testing enables the Biomedical Research Unit to improve prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders to the Greater Manchester, national and international population.Our research focuses on musculoskeletal disorders, with a number of different research areas:
- Prevention of disease and complications
- Prevention of co-morbidity
- Inflammatory arthritis in adults
- Inflammatory arthritis in children
- Connective tissue disease
- Evaluation of new therapies and devices
- Non-genetic biomarkers (including imaging)
