Translational research in rheumatoid arthritis: an integrated laboratory and clinical approach.
The studentship programme includes the following areas:
1) Regenerative Medicine – in situ tissue engineering for joint tissues repair. Click here for project abstract.
2) Identification of novel tissue specific targets for drug delivery by phage display in vivo. Click here for project abstract.
3) Targeting osteoclasts for the treatment of arthritis - project details coming soon.
4) Endogenous anti-inflammatory pathways in the resolution of inflammation. Click here for project abstract.
5) Deliver therapeutics to sites of arthritic diseases through molecular and cellular engineering. Click here for project abstract.
6) Monocyte subsets as cellular markers and therapeutic targets in lupus nephritis. Click here for project abstract.
