New £3 million Midlands centre to tackle age related ill health
Professor Richard Dawkins will officially launch a new £3 million Midlands centre today (7th November) to establish what goes wrong with our bones, joints, ligaments and muscles as we age, the neural and psychological changes that occur and how diet, exercise and other interventions could help prevent this age-related decline. The MRC-Arthritis Research UK Centre for Musculoskeletal Ageing Research is a partnership between the Universities of Birmingham and Nottingham, one of only two new national centres funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC) and Arthritis Research UK.
