AoPcasts: "The Consult" Bringing you the latest in medical research
Welcome to "The Consult," an academic podcast series hosted by Professor Paul Klenerman, Truelove Professor at the Nuffield Department of Medicine, University of Oxford. As part of the Associations of Physicians of Great Britain and Ireland (AoPGBI) podcast series, we engage with leading researchers who are continually advancing their fields through innovative basic science and clinical studies. Each episode offers an exploration of their current research, providing a unique and personal window onto the latest developments and their future trajectory.

PODCAST: Inflammation Across Tissues
Immune Mediated Inflammatory Diseases (IMIDs) are a common and growing problem. Traditional models of research and service delivery silo their management within specific specialities and within adult or paediatric settings. Very often patients with disease in one organ have co-morbid involvement in another, suggesting shared pathogenic pathways. Moreover, IMIDs are often treated in very similar ways (combination therapy) with very similar drugs (steroids and anti TNF biologics). In this seminar we will explore how investigating these diseases in a common manner has led to some startling findings that not only unlock the cellular basis of these diseases but have implications for the rapid assessment of the efficacy of new therapeutic targets in cross-disease translational research studies.
