The UK's Experimental Arthritis Treatment Centre for Children (EATC4Children)

Working in partnership for a better solution

About us

We are a unique consortium delivering translational biomedical research (from early lab-based studies to clinical trials) in childhood arthritis and related musculoskeletal and inflammatory disorders. Working in partnership with clinicians, academics, scientists, industrial and patient partners, we are working to create novel treatments for children.

The EATC4Children is fully integrated with both national and international efforts to drive forward the translation of knowledge from molecular studies to patient care and back. Discover more about our research focus.

Industry

Industry partnerships play a crucial role in helping the Experimental Arthritis Treatment Centre for Children deliver early phase trials to benefit children.

Partnerships

We bring together a strong and internationally competitive consortium of partners with expertise in experimental medicine and related methodological support.

Public and patient engagement

All of the work carried out as part of the EATC4Children is inspired by and involves, all of our children, young people, and their families.

Training

At the core of all our activities is our training programme to support the development of the next generation of leaders in experimental medicine, paediatric rheumatology, and musculoskeletal disorders.
