Musculoskeletal research at the Kolling directly informs clinical practice across a range of areas, including imaging, surgery, physiotherapy, engineering, biomechanics, exercise physiology and medical devices. Key strengths include research into osteoarthritis, back pain, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, systematic lupus erythematosus, vasculitis, osteoporosis, musculoskeletal injury, ageing and muscle problems. Researchers are represented in industry related projects and involved in government policy development. Over the past four years, the University of Sydney has funded the Musculoskeletal Alliance through their
Faculty of Medicine and Health. Kolling researchers have been leaders of the alliance within the Faculty of Medicine and Health. Continued alignment with the priorities of the joint venture partners will ensure a focused direction and help maximise partner engagement. Expanding the institute’s focus in this field, while emphasising research quality and collaborations with global peers, will raise the profile of the institute as a world-class research facility. Researchers will benefit from an enhanced research environment and opportunities to build their capacity.
