More than half us will suffer with two or more long-term chronic diseases by the age of 65 and this presents a complex and costly healthcare challenge. The Lydia Becker Institute is identifying which chronic conditions patients have and whether there is a shared inflammatory mechanism. Studying diseases together instead of as separate entities give...
Our skin, lungs, gums and gut act as our body’s first barrier against disease. Evidence links inflammation of these tissues with the development of conditions ranging from respiratory infections, inflammatory bowel disease to gum disease, highlighting the importance of our immune system’s role in maintaining good overall health. Manchester’s resear...
Inflammation is our body’s reaction to infection and injury where it acts as part of the recovery and repair process. However, in certain cases such as stroke, inflammation causes the destruction of brain cells, leading to death or disability for many patients. We’re identifying new treatments that can be established to improve outcomes for stroke ...
Matrix is the tissue which surrounds and supports our cells, accounting for one third of our body mass. Our research is helping to understand the interconnectivity between matrix and our body’s immune system, pinpointing the ways in which our cells are equipped to respond to immune signals. Research into the immune responses that support tissue rep...
Every year, infections cause millions of deaths and illnesses across the world. While vaccination succeeds in fighting certain types of infection, there are many others which are resistant to vaccines, making our immune system our most powerful defence tool. Manchester is internationally renowned for fungal, parasitic and bacterial research. Our fo...
The Lydia Becker Institute of Immunology and Inflammation brings together the considerable immunological expertise across schools and faculties within the University.
