It’s International Women's Day! This year’s theme is #Choosetochallenge. We’re celebrating some of the amazing women at NDORMS, and asking them what changes they’d like to see in medical sciences over the next 100 years. Celebrating 100 years since women were admitted as full members of the University of Oxford, these outstanding women at NDORMS were featured as part of 100 Women of Medical Sciences to showcase diversity of roles women now hold.

Real-World Data and Federated Analytics
One key feature of our research is using data collected from the world around us. This could be de-identified patient records, weather station measurements or satellite imagery. This real-world international evidence uses federated analytics to safely and securely combine individual person-level data into valuable learning.
AI for Planetary Health
Artificial Intelligence is one of the biggest areas of development and innovation today. In our research, we are applying AI technology to tackle one of the greatest challenges facing healthcare systems across the globe: the impact of the environment and climate change.
COVID-19 Pandemic Response
Medical statistics was a key part of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Like many teams, we applied our experience with data analysis, real-world evidence and international collaboration to help healthcare systems around the world respond to the health crisis, and learn from it.
Machine Learning and Medical Statistics
Our lab applies machine learning in medical statistics, allowing us to identify patterns and insights in large amounts of health data. This can lead to improved diagnoses, treatments, and overall healthcare outcomes.
Fair and Safe Medical AI
As artificial intelligence continues to grow in its power and applications, we are harnessing its power to improve healthcare, making it fair and safe for all.
