Tony Day

Attended a meeting organised by MRC/Association of British Pharmaceutical Industries: Immunology and Inflammation Initiative on "Rheumatoid arthritis and associated conditions - moving research to the clinic". It was agreed at the meeting (held in London) that the delegates would form a single UK-wide consortium that was built around 3 themes: 1) Curing early arthritis - understanding early disease; 2) Deeper understanding of damage and repair; 3) Developing an immunological tool kit. The outline proposal is due to be submitted on 19th May and £5-7M is up for grabs to be shared with a similar initiative in the area of COPD.
