The Botnar Research Centre plays host to the University of Oxford's Institute of Musculoskeletal Sciences, which enables and encourages research and education into the causes of musculoskeletal disease and their treatment.

Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology

The Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology is an international centre of excellence focusing on understanding the causes of chronic inflammatory conditions to develop new treatments that change lives.

Professor Chris Buckley has joined the Kennedy Institute as Director of Clinical Research

Moving to the University of Oxford with the Arthritis Therapy Acceleration Programme (A-TAP) will help accelerate the discovery of new treatments for inflammatory diseases.

Behind enemy lines: research finds a new ally in the fight against cardiovascular disease hidden within the vessel wall itself

A new study reveals the existence of a powerful ally in the fight against cardiovascular disease, a protective subset of vascular macrophages expressing the C-type lectin receptor CLEC4A2, a molecule which fosters “good” macrophage behaviour within the vessel wall.

We discover the causes of musculoskeletal and inflammatory conditions to deliver excellent and innovative care that improves people’s quality of life.
