Wake Research and Emerge Ortho combined to form M3-Emerging Medical Research, offering you innovative research focused on orthopaedics — from advanced devices for spine surgery to the latest biotech pharmaceuticals. We assist local universities as well as national networks of researchers in learning more about the causes of different forms of arthritis. We have contributed to bringing to market many of the most popular rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis medications, as well as the major anti-inflammatory medications. In addition, our studies have included research on gout, pain, osteoarthritis, and various types of back and neck arthritis, and spine disease, including disc disease.
