The CIR aims to characterise what promotes health and resilience 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. A particular current focus is on tissue fibrosis – the result of longstanding inflammation, with programmes looking at the mechanisms underpinning resolution of fibrosis and its non-invasive monitoring and imaging. 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. 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). The CIR is located in state of the art facilities at the Queen’s Medical Research Institute adjacent to the clinical facilities on the BioQuarter Campus, Edinburgh.
