Between now and 2030 we will do that with a values-led approach to teaching, research and innovation, and through the strength of our relationships, both locally and globally.About the Team:The Centre for Inflammation Research (CIR; Director, Professor David Dockrell) leverages peer-reviewed interdisciplinary research programmes and focussed collaboration, to characterise mechanisms of acute and chronic inflammation. CIR aims to characterise what promotes health at the molecular level in order to prevent the harmful consequences of inflammation in clinical medicine. Effort is targeted at: inhibiting the initiation of inflammation by blocking specific molecular triggers and by modulating cellular and tissue responses resulting in organ dysfunction; finding new approaches to modulate established inflammatory responses to limit tissue injury; and promoting safe resolution of inflammation to restore healthy structure and function of tissue.The CIR has a broad interest in inflammatory disease in a range of tissues including in the lungs, kidney, liver, pancreas, bowel, bone, joints, skin, heart and brain. There is in-depth analysis of stimuli that induce or modify inflammation with detailed programmes considering the role of sex, development, auto-immunity, infection and other environmental influences. Importantly, the principles derived will have ready application to inflammatory and reparatory responses in virtually all physiological and pathological settings, including cancer and infection (not least COVID-19). Translation is aided by a commitment to novel diagnostic and imaging modalities and our proximity to patient groups and healthy volunteers in the Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh.Our research aims align closely with the vision of IRR and other centres within IRR, to promote human health through in-depth understanding of tissue regeneration and repair, while developing a multi-pronged translational programme to effect therapeutic innovation in this area. IRR is located on the BioQuarter Campus, Edinburgh.
