A new analysis by researchers at Oxford Population Health\u2019s Infectious Disease Epidemiology Unit has provided robust evidence in support of current World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for treating pregnant women living with HIV. The study is published in Clinical Microbiology and Infection.
New research shows children and young people are bombarded with social media ads for junk food, which influence their food choices, but current rules do little to protect them.
A landmark study involving Oxford researchers has identified 69 previously unidentified genetic determinants of rare disease, including uncommon forms of epilepsy and schizophrenia.
The award to a group of 17 interdisciplinary researchers from Oxford University will allow them to develop new therapies for drug-resistant tuberculosis.
After more than a year of community engagement and preparation in 100 villages with over 12,000 inhabitants across the Chittagong Hill Tracts, a mass malaria vaccine (R21/Matrix M) and drug administration (DHA, piperaquine, and single low dose primaquine) study was launched on 15 February.
A new home test to diagnose type-1 diabetes (T1D) is being investigated in a major UK study led by researchers at the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Oxford Biomedical Research Centre.
A new study led by researchers from Oxford Population Health has shown that a range of environmental factors, including lifestyle (smoking and physical activity) and living conditions, have a greater impact on health and premature death than our genes.
Dr David A Menassa is one of the senior authors on a new paper in Nature Communications that reports on the use of DeepCellMap - an adaptable open-source deep learning tool which studies cellular interactions in human brain tissues in an automated way.
Department researchers awarded \u00a317 million from Wellcome to analyse NHS talking therapy outcomes and enhance secure data research. The project will enable unprecedented mental health treatment research through the OpenSAFELY platform.
A team of researchers at the Department of Oncology have uncovered a key mechanism by which cells respond to their physical environment. In a pioneering study, published in Science Advances, Eric O\u2019Neill and his team describe a new signalling cascade, through which mechanical forces trigger the assembly of nuclear actin, crucial for nuclear integrity.
The circuits of the brain linking together the regions known as the midbrain, the striatum and the cortex are critical to understanding disorders such as Parkinson\u2019s disease, addiction and autism. Understanding and modelling how the circuit works in human neurons has been difficult, mainly due to the inaccessibility of the human brain and the limitations of current technologies to reliably grow circuits of human neurons in the laboratory.
Twenty eight young people from the UK and Japan played a leading role in co-designing the research, interviewing other young people and adults, analysing the findings, and developing the recommendations for policy makers.
The Pandemic Sciences Institute, including principal investigators from the Oxford Vaccine Group, has signed a memorandum of understanding with Institut Pasteur de Dakar (IPD) to become a partner institution. PSI and Institut Pasteur de Dakar (IPD) will cooperate on developing vaccines and rapid diagnostics \u2013 as well as strengthening workforce in the vaccinology, clinical trials and biomanufacturing sectors.
The International Day of Women and Girls in Science, observed on February 11, serves as a reminder of the gender disparities that persist in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields.
International, national and local partners have been welcomed to the launch of the world\u2019s first centre dedicated to empowering global epilepsy research and care.
Study shows why there are differences in prognosis between different pancreatic tumours and identifies potential avenues for improved treatment approaches.
In a paper published today in Nature Medicine, an international team of researchers, including those from the University of Oxford and TUD Dresden University of Technology, show how user trust and pathways to market for digital health applications could be enhanced.
New research from the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences sets out evidence-based guidance to help clinicians have more effective and supportive conversations about weight loss with patients living with obesity.
