Department of Inflammation and Ageing
Patients often have more than one chronic inflammatory condition. By looking at them collectively we are transforming the way these chronic, debilitating and life-threatening conditions are studied, prevented and treated. Our approach brings together world-leading medical and scientific experts in human ageing, trauma and major illnesses, working alongside patients, to better understand inflammation.
