Funded Activity Summary

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the spine and causing back pain. The diagnosis of the disease is delayed by up to 10 years due to lack of accurate tests. We aim to identify molecular signatures of the disease that might be used to distinguish inflammatory processes typical of the disease and other causes of back pain. This would allow earlier and more accurate diagnosis of the disease and result earlier patient treatment and better health outcomes.
