Our mission is to undertake the highest quality research in musculoskeletal and inflammatory conditions to deliver new treatments, which improve people's lives. We have world-class facilities, with purpose-built laboratories and state-of-the-art equipment. \r\n\r\nOur multidisciplinary research is thriving, supported by large infrastructure grants from the National Institute for Health Research and the Kennedy Trust for Rheumatology Research. In addition, a number of charities make significant contributions, most notably Arthritis Research UK and the Wellcome Trust, as well as collaborations with Industry.\r\n\r\nThe Departments research spans the following themes.
\n \n\n \n \nNDORMS offers a comprehensive training programme for both staff and students.
\n \n\n \n \nBased within a large musculoskeletal clinical setting, NDORMS is ideally placed to participate in clinical trials. The Department hosts the Oxford Clinical Trials Research Unit (OCTRU), which is a fully registered CTU and leads and co-ordinates strategy, operations and systems across a range of therapeutic areas. Many of the NDORMS Studies are jointly co-ordinated through the Surgical Intervention Trials Unit (SITU), the Oxford Trauma team or the Centre for Rehabilitation Research in Oxford (RRIO).
