New study finds link between mild COVID-19 disease and certain T cell reponses

The study, led by researchers at the MRC Translational Immune Discovery Unit and the CAMS Oxford Institute (NDM), found that dominant T cell responses found in many individuals 4 years after infection are associated with mild COVID-19 disease, and likely play important protective roles in subsequent viral infection events.

Neurodiversity takes centre stage at Oxford’s first conference

Oxford’s first Neurodiversity Conference brought together clinicians, researchers, local organisations members of the public and the neurodivergent community to discuss current and future research and areas for potential collaboration.

Oxford and Cayetano win Wellcome Discovery Award to transform care for Chronic Mountain Sickness

Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH) in Lima, Peru and the University of Oxford have secured a prestigious Discovery Award worth $3.1 million to launch a four-year programme aimed at improving treatment for Chronic Mountain Sickness (CMS)—a debilitating, neglected condition affecting high-altitude populations.

New partnership aims to tackle antibiotic overuse in African children’s hospitals

PediSEP-1, a new study funded by the EDCTP3 Horizon programme, has launched to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in African hospitals. The initiative introduces a risk-differentiated care approach identifying low-risk children who can be safely discharged early with minimal or no antibiotics supported by targeted parental education and ‘virtual ward’ follow up by phone. The project seeks to reduce antibiotic overuse and AMR transmission, and increase system efficiency

A new paradigm of pancreatic islet adaptations in pregnancy

University of Oxford researchers have uncovered surprising new insights into how the pancreas adapts during pregnancy to meet the body’s increased demand for insulin. Their findings, published in Nature Communications, challenge long-standing assumptions based on animal studies and highlight key differences between human and mouse biology.

How can we keep GPs in the job? New review points to relationships, meaning, and learning

New research shows GP retention depends on how services are organised, not just individual resilience. Meaningful work, strong relationships, and learning cultures help GPs stay in post and deliver better patient care.

Oxford University to accelerate type 1 diabetes research and care with £10 million gift

The University of Oxford has announced a gift of £10 million from the Bukhman Foundation to support ground-breaking research into type 1 diabetes (T1D). This generous funding will establish the Bukhman Centre for Research Excellence in Type 1 Diabetes, as well as create new academic posts and scholarships, helping to accelerate progress towards better treatments and ultimately a cure.

Oxford University researchers pioneer new breathing test to detect lung disease earlier

A new project led by Oxford University aims to develop a novel breathing test that could detect asthma and COPD earlier, more accurately, and closer to home - reducing pressure on the NHS and improving outcomes for patients.

Any level of alcohol consumption increases risk of dementia

Any amount of alcohol consumption may increase risk of dementia, according to the most comprehensive study of alcohol consumption and dementia risk to date.

No evidence that Paracetamol use in pregnancy causes Autism Spectrum Disorder

Current evidence does not support a causal link between paracetamol use in pregnancy and autism spectrum disorder. A 2025 review of pivotal studies concluded that in-utero exposure to paracetamol is unlikely to confer a clinically important increased risk of ASD, and clinical guidelines on treating pain and fever in pregnancy should not change. Untreated pain and fever can harm both mother and fetus; when needed, paracetamol remains the recommended option.

New study find treatment for Chagas disease is excessive

A new study has found the current recommended treatment for Chagas disease could be given over a substantially shorter time period and still be as effective.

Global study shows drug shortages affect patient care to varying degrees

In the largest study of its kind, new global research has revealed that drug shortages can become a systemic issue affecting the health of millions of patients and impacting healthcare systems in Europe and North America

People with severe mental illness gain three times as much weight as peers, yet weight-management referrals do not increase

People with severe mental illness gain 4kg more weight than peers over 15 years but aren't offered more weight-management support, identifying crucial five-year intervention window.

National registry launched to transform care for people at risk of type 1 diabetes

A first-of-its-kind UK registry for children and adults who are at risk of type 1 diabetes has been launched at the University of Oxford.

First myeloma patient joins Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Science trial of radioactive bone scan

In a world first researchers at NDORMS are testing a new technology that could enable clinicians to better diagnose and treat myeloma.

Trial shows that suture repair fails to improve digital nerve injury outcomes

The first ever trial of microsurgical suture repair vs nerve alignment for digital nerve injuries suggests suture repair does not improve outcomes.

Iron Levels Found to Play a Key Role in FLASH Radiotherapy’s Tissue-Sparing Effect

Researchers in the Department of Oncology have uncovered new insights into how FLASH radiation therapy kills cancer cells while minimising damage to healthy tissues. Published in Cell Death & Disease, the study shows the key role of iron levels in FLASH radiotherapy's tissue-sparing effect.

New recommendations from the ongoing national enquiries into maternal health and care in the UK
