Job Details

Job Purpose

The Universities of Birmingham and Oxford have been awarded funding from the Kennedy Trust for Rheumatology research to establish a new Arthritis Therapy Acceleration Program (A-TAP) as part of a new M40 Alliance. The initial investment of £7m over five years is matched by additional combined funding of £3M from the two Universities. The A-TAP will bring an innovative new approach to translational inflammation research accelerating the assessment of novel therapies in the clinic through application of rigorous signal seeking experimental medicine studies leading to rapid adoption into clinical trials. It will develop a new taxonomy of disease that moves away from a traditional “organ-based, speciality-focussed” approach to research and therapy to a process-driven, pathway-focussed driven classification for the four Immune Mediated Inflammatory Disease (IMIDs) to be assessed in the programme. This initiative combines the outstanding basic science within the KIR with the translational medicine capacity of the Institute of Translational Medicine in Birmingham meaning that cutting edge science findings can be applied to large and well-characterised patient cohorts.
