Arthritis and Inflammation
Our work focuses on the development, evaluation and implementation of exercise interventions to optimise quality of life in people living with chronic conditions such as Arthritis or Cancer. Our projects range from investigating cellular mechanisms of physiological responses and adaptations to exercise, to translational studies evaluating the applicability of various exercise interventions in society. In collaboration with national and international partners, we promote a rounded approach to the management of such conditions. Our research has informed policy development and clinical guidance, while our community outreach programme introduces patients, carers and healthcare professionals to our findings and methods, as well as their applications.
