Birmingham Rheumatology Research Group
@RRG_Birmingham
University of Birmingham’s Rheumatology Research Group studies inflammatory diseases, spanning discovery science, experimental medicine and applied research.
The RAPID project is using primary care electronic health records to help identify people at risk of rheumatoid arthritis. Find out more, including how our patient research partners are involved: birmingham.ac.uk/research/infla… @NIHRresearch @NRAS_UK @BirminghamBRC @InflamAge_UoB
Researchers from @InflamAge_UoB, @UoBinfectionsch, have shown that blood vessels produce a protein called CLEC14A that inhibits bone formation, which could hold clues for future osteoporosis treatment - published in @CommsBio. birmingham.ac.uk/news/2024/prot…

We're thrilled that our @R2P2_UoB patient partner Elspeth Insch co-authored a lay abstract in @AtlasOfScience! Patient partners are important to the work that we do. Read to find out more how PEPITEM could revolutionise treatments for bone diseases @DrMarieFalahee @McGettrickLab
Unlocking new treatments for bone diseases: using PEPITEM to strengthen bones and prevent loss Despite appearances, bones are a constantly changing organ in the body. Cells that produce new bone (named osteoblasts) and cells that break down bone ... atlasofscience.org/unlocking-new-…
R2P2 meeting happening on the 23rd of May 2024 (10-2pm with arrival from 9.30). Program includes talks from researchers, a ultrasound demonstration, lunch and opportunities for discussions. Look out for your invite! @BirminghamBRC @RRG_Birmingham
Just published in @RheumJnl ! Our new paper highlights differences in symptom reporting in new-onset RA across ethnic groups. @BirminghamBRC @InflamAge_UoB @unibirm_MDS @RRG_Birmingham academic.oup.com/rheumatology/a…
Important research from @Dr_JohnR and colleagues highlighting the differences in management approaches for #lupus nephritis within the UK and that rituximab remains the most popular choice for refractory renal disease academic.oup.com/rheumap/articl…
Do rheumatologists and nephrologists have different preferred treatment approaches for #lupus nephritis? (Short answer, yes) @RRG_Birmingham @InflamAge_UoB rb.gy/tuqyqs
What a star ⭐️ Adam starts his Inaugural Lecture @APCroft
A ground-breaking study led by @unibirmingham & @UniFAU reveals that #Fibroblast cells hold the key to resolving joint inflammation 🔑 The discovery could revolutionise future #Arthritis treatments 🔬 ➡️bit.ly/3TaTrwe #Inflammation #Ageing #Research
Research Fellow vacancy now live! 📢 Join the @RRG_Birmingham to work on cutting-edge single cell & spatial analytics in inflammatory disease #Research🔬 You will work to advance understanding in immune mediated #InflammatoryDisease Apply today! ✨ ➡️bit.ly/3SxB9F6
Researchers at @unibirmingham have created a comprehensive tissue reference for understanding #RheumatoidArthritis (RA). Utilising synovial tissue from #RA patients, researchers now have a resource which could provide invaluable insights into the disease. bit.ly/3QQPYkg
Many congratulations to our rising star Sally Clayton, very well deserving winner of a Wellcome Trust Early Career Award 👏👏👏⭐️
I'm thrilled to learn that I've been awarded a Wellcome Trust Early Career Award, which will fund my research for the next 5 years! 🥂🎉 Super excited to work with @SarahDimeloeLab and @ImmunologyUoB to understand how mitochondrial regulation controls immune cells in inflammation
Dr Chris Mahony and I are presenting our tissue-based research characterising the inflamed joint in children with JIA, at 4pm in the Pediatrics Basic Science meeting at #ACR23 today! Come join us if its your cup of ☕ 🍶 @RRG_Birmingham @InflamAge_UoB @KirOxford @UCLchildhealth
Our in vitro bone model method has been published! 🤩🥳 Thank you to the @NC3Rs and to everyone who has contributed and supported this work! Please take a look: f1000research.com/articles/12-35… @NaylorLab @DWLiam @HTIbham @RRG_Birmingham
It’s a match: Birmingham leads pioneering initiative to partner PhD students and patients birmingham.ac.uk/news/2023/its-… via @unibirmingham
Start of 4th EULAR synovial biopsy course in Barcelona- looking forward to an interesting 2-days with some excellent speakers and experts in this field with a mix of theory and practice. @eular_org @a_filer @AurelieRheumo @RRG_Birmingham
🔥 Just out! 📷 In today's publication by @BMC_series , we present the Student Patient Alliance. This groundbreaking #PPI initiative, led by @DrMarieFalahee, connects PhD students with patient, revolutionizing collaboration in Birmingham. @R2P2_UoB @BirminghamBRC
At the cutting edge of inflammation! Prof Filer and Prof Naidu on list days.. @InflamAge_UoB @RRG_Birmingham @Racegbn
It's a match! A new Birmingham initiative pairs discovery science PhD students with patient & public partners to improve understanding of patient priorities & public engagement skills, with 80% of participants likely to recommend the experience to others. bit.ly/3tm12hd
