PhD projects

Professor Simon Jones's research interests include the inflammatory and metabolic mechanisms that drive osteoarthritis pathology, the role of skeletal muscle dysfunction and atrophy in chronic disease and understanding the functional role of non-coding RNAs in mediating inflammatory responses.

Prof Jones's current research projects include:

1. The role of synovial fibroblasts in mediating joint pain in patients with osteoarthritis. In collaboration with Prof Chapman (University of Nottingham) and Eli Lilly Global Pain Discovery. Funding from MRC/UKRI.

2. The functional role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in obesity associated chronic inflammatory diseases including osteoarthritis (in collaboration with Prof Mark Lindsay, University of Bath). Funding from Versus Arthritis.

3. Understanding the intrinsic drivers of scoliosis. Funders include Nuvasive and the Birmingham Orthopaedic Charity.

4. Determining the drivers of the age-related decline in skeletal muscle mass and function. Funders include MedImmune/AstraZeneca, BBSRC.
