About this blog
The blog will provide updates on the research of the Nottingham BRC MSK Theme. Our vision is to provide a platform for translating outputs from our world-class discovery science programmes to improve quality of life and sustain people more effectively in the community. We will achieve this by using novel biochemical, imaging and clinical technologies to develop and evaluate novel interventions matched to individuals, leading to a personalised medicine approach,. The aim of this blog is to promote our research and to disseminate it to a wider audience.
