New department in UCL Division of Medicine - keep an eye out for our research updates!
Great to see the ARR labs as the background for new borrowers movie!
3 years of the Rosser lab ✨ and delighted that the group has gifted me this hand made piece of art to prove they’ve been hard at work in the lab…. Wow.. It’s been a wild ride so far! Feel privileged to work with this amazing group of smart, talented, eccentric people every day. Bring on year 4..!

The next breakthrough in rheumatology will require prioritizing diversity - Nature Reviews Rheumatology
Progress has been astonishing, but the need for personalized care can only be addressed through a universal focus on diversity and equity in rheumatology research.
