School of Medicine - Comprehensive Arthritis, Musculoskeletal, Bone and Autoimmunity Center

Focused on establishing collaborative synergies across schools, departments and divisions at UAB

Building on its traditional strengths in immunology and autoimmunity, the Center faculty has developed programs in translational human genetics, focusing on the immunogenetic basis of autoimmune disease, and in outcomes and population-based research, in addition to research themes encompassing experimental therapeutics, bone cartillage and connective tissue, immunology, autoimmunity, autoimmunity and inflammation and neuroimmunology.

To generate new understanding and apply this knowledge to improve the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of these conditions

The center is involved in multiple research initiatives that are collaborative and include our different specialties such as autoimmune disease and outcomes and population-based research. In addition to these research themes encompassing experimental therapeutics, we also specialize in bone cartillage and connective tissue, immunology, autoimmunity, autoimmunity and inflammation and neuroimmunology.

To train future investigators and health care professionals in arthritis, musculoskeletal, bone, and autoimmune diseases

The membership of the CAMBAC have a strong commitment to the development of training programs that capture the new paradigms and technologies that are driving research in arthritis, musculoskeletal, bone, and autoimmune diseases.
