About the School/Department/Institute/Project

The NIHR Barts Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) is part of the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and is a delivery partnership of Barts Health NHS Trust, Queen Mary University of London, St George’s, University of London and St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust hosted by Barts Health NHS Trust. Musculoskeletal conditions affect over 14.9m people nationally, represent 20% of GP consultations and are the second biggest cause of sickness absence, costing the UK economy £7bn per year and £5bn per year directly to the NHS. The BRC Musculoskeletal Theme seeks to employ precision medicine to better identify those who progress rapidly and when, pathways underpinning this progression, and to better understand who responds to current/novel therapy.

We continue to embrace diversity of thought and opinion in everything we do, in the belief that when views collide, disciplines interact, and perspectives intersect, truly original thought takes form.
