The NIHR Oxford Musculoskeletal Biomedical Research Unit aims to translate advances in medical research into benefits for patients within the NHS.
Professor Andrew Carr leads the Orthopaedics theme, aiming to improve evidence for the effectiveness of surgery generally and to translate novel biomaterials and biological therapies into the clinic.
His group's research will expand current research on muscle, tendon, bone and cartilage to develop new treatments for bone, muscle and tendon conditions, such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.
The BRU is a collaboration between the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences of the University of Oxford, funded by the National Institute for Health Research.
The strong partnership between the OUH NHS Trust and NDORMS, provides an excellent platform for clinical research which will help to prevent, diagnose and treat ill health.
