Rheumatoid Arthritis

We have recently spun out a company, OsteoRx Ltd, and a project in which we discovered novel therapies for rheumatoid arthritis, is being commercialised by Modern Biosciences

In a field dominated by expensive biological agents, we discovered a series of small molecule inhibitors which have therapeutic potential for the treatment of a number of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and psoriasis.
