Consortium Launch
Funded by a UKRI partnership grant, TRICIA is a collaborative network across four academic institutions: Manchester, University College London, Birmingham and Oxford and has collective expertise in epidemiology, pathophysiology, data science and bioinformatics. Its objective is to build capacity within UK paediatric rheumatology to perform synovial tissue biopsy studies to improve treatments for Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) through precision pathology research.
This collaboration will allow for larger-scale synovial tissue research studies in the future, enabling the identification of new pathways, signatures, targets, and biomarkers. The ultimate goal is to improve the lives of those affected by JIA
