Our PhD/MPhil Musculoskeletal programme enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Musculoskeletal. Research in the Centre for Musculoskeletal Research (CfMR) is undertaken by established groups and independent researchers investigating genetic and epidemiological aspects of musculoskeletal conditions. These include: rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), myositis and scleroderma (Sc). We have a strong track record of training students, and all of our senior staff have a hands-on approach to supervision. We have a comprehensive programme of training and mentorship directed at all levels of career development. For postgraduate research students, we provide in-house training in generic lab skills, biostatistics and epidemiology. Postgraduate research students are encouraged to take part in patient/public engagement and involvement activities (PPE/I) to discuss their research with members of the general public and patients.
