MACP President appointed the first medical director of the Arthritis Research Campaign
Leading medical research charity the Arthritis Research Campaign (arc) has appointed its first medical director.
Professor Alan Silman, who is regarded by many as a leader of the younger generation of senior rheumatologists, is current director of the arc Epidemiology Unit and arc Professor of Rheumatic Disease Epidemiology at Manchester University. He is also a consultant rheumatologist at Manchester Royal Infirmary. He will take up the past from January 1, 2007 and will join arc initially on secondment from Manchester University.
He will take a leading role in developing and delivery of arc's research strategy by evaluating existing and recent research, identifying areas of unmet need and proposing new initiatives aimed at speeding the translation of arc's research programme into tangible benefits for people with arthritis.
Professor Silman's research activity spans most of the rheumatological and musculoskeletal disorders, though he has a particular interest in the interplay between genetic and environmental factors. The unit at Manchester University is considered to be one of the leading rheumatological research groups internationally. Amongst his several external responsibilities, he is currently a member of the Medical Research Council's Physiology and Clinical Sciences Board, the Wellcome Trust's Clinical Fellowship Panel, the Phramacovigilance Expert Advisory Group to the DoH and Vice-chairman of Sub-panel 6 for the Research Assessment Exercise 2008. Internationally he is an executive member of the European League Against Rheumatism. He is of course, the President of the MACP"
