Course summary

Musculoskeletal diseases are studied within the Leeds Institute of Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Diseases (LIRMM). We undertake research across a range of conditions including inflammatory arthritis, connective tissue diseases and common painful disorders such as osteoarthritis. We are a recognised European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Centre of Excellence. Our work covers the spectrum from basic science and translational studies through early and late phase trials and health services research, with a focus on improving understanding and therapy for these diseases. We collaborate with the Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering, which has expertise in the area of musculoskeletal systems with research focusing on joint replacement, tissue re-engineering and functional spinal interventions. We also work with the School of Dentistry, which is focused on understanding the fundamental mechanisms of oral and other diseases, particularly musculoskeletal, in order to improve treatment, restore function and address the needs for prevention.
