Jelena Bezbradica Mirkovic, Audrey Gerard, Karthik Ramasamy and Sarah Snelling have been awarded the title of \u2018Full Professor\u2019 in the University of Oxford\u2019s 2025 Recognition of Distinction exercise.
For the past couple of months, NDORMS had the pleasure of hosting four medical students from the University of Alabama, Birmingham, USA as part of their Distinction in Global Health programme. The initiative, available to first year medical (MD) students, offers a unique opportunity to gain international experience in global health through clinical or research placements around the world.
Oxford researchers have unveiled new insights into the ongoing evolutionary battle between humans and the malaria parasite. The international team has discovered how the malaria parasite evades the immune system\u2014and how the human body fights back.
NDORMS has been awarded the designation of a EULAR Centre of Excellence for a third consecutive term. This prestigious award is a recognition of the department\u2019s contribution to advancing the science of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases.
A new Medical Research Council Centre of Research Excellence (MRC CoRE) will investigate how the environment interacts with our immune system to trigger chronic inflammatory diseases, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
It is with great sadness that we heard of the passing of Lord Tebbit. As Chairman of the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre Charity for 14 years, he was instrumental in helping raise millions to support both treatment and research into musculoskeletal conditions.
A new study has found that people from non-White ethnic backgrounds in England and Wales continued to be disproportionately impacted by severe outcomes after COVID-19 such as cardiovascular disease.
Researchers have been able to see what happens in the inflamed joints of children with arthritis, giving insight into why treatments affect children differently.
Kennedy researchers have uncovered new clues about how immune memory exacerbates inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis, which could lead to better ways to control the disease.
Oxford researchers have developed programmable microcapsules to deliver vaccines in stages, potentially eliminating the need for booster shots and increasing immunisation coverage in hard-to-reach communities.
Kennedy DPhil student Chrissy Bolton has been awarded Best Abstract in Basic and Translational Science at the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology 2025 (EULAR) conference.
Professor Marco Fritzsche from the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, is co-leading a research project that has been awarded a \u00a31.4 million Programme Foundation Award from Cancer Research UK, to investigate how physical forces within tumours affect the ability of a type of white blood cell to attack and eliminate cancer cells.
Kennedy researchers have uncovered key design parameters for bispecific T-cell engagers (TcEs) - a class of cancer immunotherapy drugs. The findings may help unlock the full potential of TcEs and revolutionise cancer treatment for patients.
Researchers at the Botnar Institute have joined a new consortium that has been awarded \u00a33m from the charity Versus Arthritis to bring world-leading experts from five UK universities together to accelerate clinical epidemiology research, which will help answer pressing questions from those living with arthritis.
Professor Andrew Carr was honoured in the 2025 King\u2019s Birthday Honours List being awarded an MBE for services to Orthopaedic Research and Training.
A new study to better understand the deadly bone cancer chondrosarcoma aims to reveal potential 'weak spots' of the disease with the ultimate goal of developing more effective treatments for patients.
Laura Coates presents the results from the 'SPEED' trial that found early use of biologic therapy or combination conventional DMARDs may be more effective than standard step-up care with methotrexate for psoriatic arthritis patients with poor prognostic factors.
