The Malawian adult lower respiratory tract infection severity, aetiology and outcome (MARISO) study presented in chapters 3, 4 and 5 was one of several concurrently recruiting adult respiratory infection projects based at MLW and Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH), Malawi. Recruitment to the MARISO study was nested within that of the Burden and Severity of HIV-associated Influenza (BASH-FLU) Study (Principal Investigator: Dr Antonia Ho) and integrated with that of the existing severe acute respiratory infection surveillance programme (Principal Investigators: Dr Dean Everett and Dr Ingrid Peterson).

  • The Centre for Integrated Research Into Musculoskeletal Ageing
    The Centre for Integrated research into Musculoskeletal Ageing The Centre for Integrated research into Musculoskeletal Ageing www.cimauk.org Photograph by Lindsay Mackenzie (2nd Runner Up - Newcastle University Student Competition) The Centre for Integrated research into Musculoskeletal Ageing Introduction Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and age-related decline in function of musculoskeletal tissues (bones, joints, tendons and muscles) are major contributors to loss of independence and poor quality of life in older people. The Centre for Integrated research into Musculoskeletal Ageing (CIMA) is a collaboration between researchers and clinicians at the Universities of Liverpool, Newcastle and Sheffield that brings together complementary and outstanding expertise in skeletal muscle, bone, cartilage and tendon biology, ageing research, nutrition and exercise interventions and clinical excellence in musculoskeletal disorders. The Centre is developing an integrated approach to understanding the processes and effects of ageing in tissues of the musculoskeletal system, how ageing contributes to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and how these processes may be ameliorated or prevented. This Centre of Excellence brings together researchers from 3 leading UK Universities to build on current world-leading research to understand why our bones, joints and muscles function less well as we age and why older people develop clinical diseases of these musculoskeletal tissues, such as arthritis or osteoporosis. The Centre is investigating new ways of preventing the deterioration of the musculoskeletal tissues that occur as we age to help preserve mobility and independence in older people. CIMA was funded by an initial grant of £2.5M from the Medical Research Council and Arthritis Research UK commencing June 2012 together with substantial investment in new posts by the Universities of Liverpool, Newcastle and Sheffield.

  • Than the Sum of Our Parts
    More than the sum of our parts How three universities share the Drill Hall Library Drill Hall Library exterior – the library is reputedly the longest in Western Europe The question I get asked most often about the Drill Hall Library is: ‘Doesn’t it get really complicated with three universities involved?’ and the answer is Dave Puplett honestly and simply: ‘Yes’. Drill Hall Library Manager [email protected] ...But I always follow up by suggesting that because every library is an economy of scale, and because every librarian is trained to find a way to put people in touch with information, the library staff at the Drill Hall just rise to the challenge. Perhaps we’re now taking it for granted; ten years ago, when the library opened, it was a bold step into uncharted waters, but now it’s an integral part of three universities’ worlds. At the Medway towns in North Kent there is a university campus for around 7,000 students who belong to the University of Greenwich, the University of Kent or Canterbury Christ Church University. The three universities share the overall location, but carefully arrange they to avoid undue academic overlap or competition. They mostly use their own offices, teaching spaces, labs, car parks, ID cards and systems. There are, however, some areas of deeper integration and the jewel in the partnership crown is undoubtedly the Drill Hall Library. Students and staff from all three universities share the Drill Hall, in the same way that students at the University of London share Senate House Library.
