Researchers at the Kennedy Institute have provided the most comprehensive overview to date of how the distinctive segmented nucleus of neutrophils influences their function in health and disease.
Professor Tonia Vincent is part of an interdisciplinary team from Oxford University leading a major new initiative which aims to redefine human-based research models for greater understanding of disease and the acceleration of new medicines.
Researchers from the Kennedy Institute are part of a UK-wide consortium that has been awarded a \u00a3644K BBSRC Network Grant to establish the Microbiome Innovation Network (Microbiome-Net).
Prof David Beard was the keynote speaker at a recent Surgical Trials Workshop in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, contributing to improved treatment quality and greater international integration in healthcare and medical science.
A new multicentre trial to evaluate a minimally invasive treatment for patients with knee osteoarthritis could transform the way knee osteoarthritis is managed, potentially improving quality of life for patients long before surgery becomes necessary.
Professors Cyrus Cooper and Kassim Javaid have been recognised at this year\u2019s American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) Annual Meeting, held in Seattle, receiving two major awards that highlight both mentorship and scientific debate excellence.
Taking an innovative approach to clinical research in hip fracture, the World Hip Trauma Evaluation (WHiTE) Platform Trial has been launched to efficiently test multiple new treatments for patients with fractures of the hip.
Professor Robin Cleveland has succeeded Professor Constantin Coussios as Director of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (IBME) at the University of Oxford.
Imposter participants threaten the integrity of health research and the policies and clinical decisions built upon it, according to NDORMS research published in The BMJ.
A new national online surgical research course designed to equip every surgical trainee in the UK with the skills to critically engage with, and contribute to, surgical research has been developed at NDORMS.
NDORMS researchers have uncovered new evidence that menopause reshapes women\u2019s immune systems, leaving them more vulnerable to infection. However, the study shows that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may help reverse these changes and boost immune health.
A new NDORMS study has found that a tailored exercise programme for people aged 80 years and older with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis and other long term health conditions is both practical and acceptable, paving the way for a large clinical trial.
NDORMS postdoc Loren Kell recently attended the British Society for Research on Ageing (BSRA) annual scientific meeting, where she won the prestigious Korenchevsky Prize for her presentation.
Grace Frost, a student in the Alsaleh Group, attended the prestigious summer school led by the European Space Agency (ESA) where she was awarded second place for her research proposal.
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.
Researchers have identified bioactive peptide sequences in PEPITEM molecules, and demonstrated the biological activity of the full PEPITEM molecule in counteracting key changes caused by osteoporosis.
