This group is closing due to the retirement of Professor Woo as group leader.

Ongoing collaborative research continues with Prof Woo as co-PI in clinical trials and in basic lab research. The latter includes collaboration with Drs. P. Brogan and H. Lachmann at ICH/UCL on the genetics of autoinflammatory diseases, and the international genetic consortium to perform whole genome scans of subtypes of JIA, in particular the ongoing project on sJIA in collaboration with Dr. Kastner at NIH, USA , Prof L.Wedderburn and Dr. Ioannou at ICH/UCL, and Prof W. Thomson at Manchester University.
