The campaign which launched on the 15th April 2024 celebrates the stories and achievements of students who were the first in their family to go to university.
Investing in women and championing gender equality turbocharges a future where everyone in society can thrive, creating a world of boundless opportunity and empowerment for all.
Dr Henrietta Hughes, the Patient Safety Commissioner for England, visited the Oxford Simulation, Teaching and Research Centre (OxSTaR) at the John Radcliffe Hospital on Friday 16 February.
An in-depth economic analysis by a multi-national research group has concluded that the productivity gained by using Anaesthesia Associates in operating theatres are very modest and do not justify the salaries currently being paid.
The Cognitive Neurology Research Group at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences has shown that remote digital cognitive testing can detect subtle cognitive impairments in chronic autoimmune limbic encephalitis (ALE) patients.
Researchers from the Medical Research Council Brain Network Dynamics Unit at the University of Oxford and the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences have identified a novel mechanism by which the brain produces powerful lasting memories that drive ill-advised actions. Focusing on cocaine experience, the researchers demonstrate how the collective activity of many nerve cells distributed across the brain underlies the persistence of such memories, providing new insights into why drug-seeking behaviours could lead to addiction.
Research led by scientists at the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Copenhagen, Bristol and California (Berkeley) reveals the evolutionary origins of multiple sclerosis (MS). This new insight into the genetic architecture of this disease changes scientists\u2019 view of its causes and has implications for its treatment, as well as paving the way for further investigations into other diseases.
Researchers from the MRC Brain Network Dynamics Unit and Oxford University's Department of Computer Science have set out a new principle to explain how the brain adjusts connections between neurons during learning.
Our researchers have shown for the first time non-invasively in humans a differential, clinically meaningful impact of Huntington\u2019s and Parkinson\u2019s diseases on the sensorimotor functional connection of the subthalamic nucleus and sensorimotor cortex.
The Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging has been awarded the Silver Engage Watermark in recognition of their outstanding commitment to supporting public and community engagement.
Winners of the Medical Research Foundation's second Festive Science Image Competition, run in partnership with the Medical Research Council (MRC), have been announced today.
Research carried out at the University of Oxford has led to the development of a new blood-based test to identify the pathology that triggers Parkinson\u2019s disease before the main symptoms occur. This could allow clinicians to screen for those individuals at high risk of developing the disease and facilitate the timely introduction of precision therapies that are currently at clinical trial stage.
A team of researchers from the University of Oxford has shown for the first time that it is possible to track the progression of Parkinson\u2019s Disease accurately using specially trained machine learning algorithms to analyse data derived from sensor devices worn by patients.
