A new University-wide network on antimicrobial resistance aims to generate novel research and collaborations to tackle one of the most urgent global health threats.
Luu Phuoc An, a PhD student at NDM\u2019s Oxford University Clinical Research Unit (OUCRU), is dedicated to improving end of life care in Vietnam. Her research explores the complex cultural, emotional, and medical aspects of death and dying in hospital settings.
The MORU-OUCRU Discovery Research Academy (MODRA) recently concluded its inaugural workshop in Bangkok. This intensive five-day programme equipped 15 promising postdoctoral researchers with the skills required to complete a high-quality seed proposal.
US adults have significantly worse health in midlife compared to their British peers, especially in markers of cardiovascular health, according to a new study involving researchers from Oxford\u2019s Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science, published in the International Journal of Epidemiology.
A new study which will help inform World Health Organization guidelines for treating children with Plasmodium vivax malaria has found that giving children higher doses of primaquine substantially reduced recurrences of malaria.
Timothy Walsh, Director of Biology at the Ineos Oxford Institute for antimicrobial research outlines three priorities that global leaders must consider at the UN High-Level Meeting on AMR held today.
Leading infectious disease epidemiologist Professor Adam Kucharski presented on opportunities to generate key insights into pandemic pathogens while implementing outbreak control measures, using insights from COVID-19, as part of a new series of pandemic sciences seminars.
High levels of acceptability for a point-of-care testing service to improve antibiotic distribution for in Vietnamese pharmacies have been discovered by the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit (OUCRU), part of the Nuffield Department of Medicine.
Antibiotic resistance poses one of the most urgent challenges to public health worldwide. During this process, bacteria acquire genetic mutations that help them to become resistant to antibiotics.
Research on sickle cell disease conducted by KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme (KWTRP) at the Nuffield Department of Medicine shows significant progress in understanding how to improve survival rates and quality of life for those living with the condition.
Scientists have developed a first-of-its-kind mass spectrometry method for vaccine authenticity screening using machine learning. The method repurposes clinical mass spectrometers already present in hospitals worldwide, making the approach feasible for global supply chain monitoring. The discovery offers an effective solution to the rise in substandard and counterfeit vaccines threatening public health.
In a new study, published in Nature Reviews Endocrinology, endocrinologists and researchers from the Nuffield Department of Women\u2019s & Reproductive Health (NDWRH) at the University of Oxford, the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, the William Harvey Research Institute (WHRI) at Queen Mary University of London and the National University of Singapore have emphasised the critical need for further research into the effects of heat exposure on the endocrine system.
A comprehensive state-of-the-art review published today in The Lancet has revealed the widespread impact of Long COVID, providing crucial insights into the condition's biological mechanisms and outlining key areas for future research.
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), Oxford University Physics Department, IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Centre (ICPAC), and various national forecasting and meteorology agencies across east Africa are joining forces to pioneer a transformative initiative that is revolutionising extreme weather forecasting and early warning systems in the region.
A groundbreaking new study has shed light on how the landscape of heart disease has evolved in the UK over the past two decades. Researchers analyzed electronic health records from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD GOLD and Aurum), encompassing a representative cohort of 22 million individuals. This included 1,650,052 people newly diagnosed with at least one cardiovascular disease (CVD) between 2000 and 2019, with an average age of 70.5 years, of whom 48% were women.
Amid concerns that the COVID-19 pandemic might have led to increases in opioid prescribing, a new study from researchers at the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, University of Oxford, demonstrates how the OpenSAFELY database can be used to conduct detailed analyses of opioid prescribing practices, in line with key recommendations from recent NHS England guidance aimed at preventing and reducing opioid harm.
A teenager who is the first patient to take part in a UK clinical trial to use deep brain stimulation to treat epilepsy has seen his daytime seizures reduce by 80%.
