Latest BMRC News
October 2020 - Latest updates from the BMRC team:
BMRC is continuing to support researchers working from home, and in particular we are proud to have been able to offer so much support to the various Covid-19 research projects across the Medical Sciences Division.
Please remember that access to BMRC facilities is only via the University network or via University / departmental VPNs. BMRC does not itself enable access to our systems, this is the responsibility of the host departments.
Please continue to respect the login nodes. They are the key access gateway for hundreds of researchers working remotely and from home. We monitor these nodes especially carefully and will immediately and without warning kill any jobs that threaten their general usability.
If you have difficulties please email bmrc-help@medsci.ox.ac.uk for assistance.
As ever... stay home, stay safe... The BMRC team!
