Everyone on earth is human, yet all are recognisably different. The
International HapMap Project aims to discover the genetic basis of
human variability and its links to health and disease. ... Read more »
Under the nanoscope
Any material that is put to work in a challenging environment will
sooner or later show signs of wear and tear. If that material is part
of a nuclear reactor, then the problem of maintaining its integrity is
particularly acute. ... Read more »
The genetics of good welfare
Professor Marian Stamp Dawkins in the Department of Zoology has spent
much of her career applying the strict criteria of the best animal
behaviour studies to the question of how to raise chickens humanely. ... Read more »
Electrical sense beats drug-driving
Professor Richard Compton and Dr Craig Banks in the Department of
Chemistry have developed a new electrochemical sensor that can detect
traces of drugs in minute quantities of saliva. ... Read more »
Oxford and technology transfer
Isis Innovation, its wholly-owned technology transfer company,
established in 1987, works with researchers who wish to develop their
ideas commercially. Isis sets up spin-out companies, arranges licensing
agreements with existing companies ... Read more »
We really do know why the sun shines
Professor Nick Jelley of Oxford’s Department of Physics is the UK Group
Leader of a joint US/UK/Canadian project that set out to solve the
problem. The instrument they built was the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
(SNO), a tank of ... Read more »
Exploring the Solar System
Modern planetary science at Oxford can be traced back to the work of Edmund Halley (1656–1742) who made observations of Mars, Venus, and Mercury, as well as his famous studies of the orbits of comets. Today Oxford University scientists work closely ... Read more »
