RACE to Newcastle

Members of the Rheumatoid Arthritis Pathogenesis Centre of Excellence (RACE) in Glasgow and Birmingham braved the wintry weather to attend the RACE Scientific Meeting at Newcastle University yesterday.

Welcomed by their Newcastle colleagues, the team got straight to work with a scientific speed-dating exercise. This matched researchers with shared interests in immune responses, systems biology, human and mouse models, and immune dysregulation.

Over lunch the team got to meet the TRAFIC Study team before an afternoon of scientific presentations on a range of topics including dendritic cells, innate lymphoid cells, CD4+ T cell signalling in rheumatoid arthritis.

The meeting closed with a presentation by Brett Finlay on the implications of the microbiome on immune regulation and the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis.
