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;
2) Identification of novel tissue specific targets for drug delivery by phage display in vivo;
3)Targeting osteoclasts for the treatment of arthritis;
4) Molecular and mechanistic investigations of the stress protein BiP as gene therapy for arthritis;
5) Role of unconventional T-cells in arthritis;
6) Endogenous anti-inflammatory pathways in the resolution of inflammation;
7) Deliver therapeutics to sites of arthritic diseases through molecular and cellular engineering;
8) Adaptive immune regulation in arthritis.
