Our research has saved millions, if not billions, of lives. The development of the first antibiotic, penicillin, ranks among the top medical discoveries of all time, and was the subject of a Nobel Prize in 1945, but we have never rested on those laurels. Other milestones include understanding the cellular basis of the immune system, discovery of the world’s most prescribed antibiotic class (the cephalosporins), the development of recombinant Factor IX as a treatment for certain types of haemophilia, new types of influenza vaccine (given to millions of people worldwide), and immune treatments to prevent transplant rejection against multiple sclerosis.
Despite these achievements, we believe our best research is still to come.
Our state-of-the-art biomedical research facilities are located in the centre of Oxford’s thriving South Parks Science area. Over 300 scientists from more than 30 countries work in a collaborative setting to uncover the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie human health and disease. Research excellence is our main goal, and we invest in a supportive, inclusive and diverse environment, which is essential for the best science and scientists to thrive.Working Hours :Monday to Friday 8am to 4.30pm
