IMMID

About

The IMID (Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases) BioResource has been established in collaboration with the NIHR BioResource to help and support research in IMID and research in health-related conditions more generally. 

The IMID BioResource is a component part of the NIHR BioResource. It aims to help research into the causes of Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases and understand determinants of IMID severity and treatment response. By understanding which genes and environmental factors are involved, and their impact on the immune system, we can investigate why some people get immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, why some of the existing treatments work in some patients but not in others, how better treatments might be developed and whether it might be possible to prevent or cure IMID.

The IMID BioResource is a collaboration managed by a partnership across 3 Biomedical Research Centres (BRCs), Manchester, Newcastle and Leeds and co-ordinated from Manchester BRC.
