The University of Oxford is founded on the quality of its teaching, scholarship and service to society. It is working harder and faster than ever to create new knowledge and find answers to global problems, helping to make a more equitable society and educate the next generation of leaders. Philanthropy plays a critical role in enabling Oxford to maintain and build on its status as a world-class centre of learning. Major and principal gifts have played a significant part in our success with the Oxford Thinking Campaign and these gifts have made a number of important projects possible. Recent significant donations have brought the following projects to fruition:  The Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities will be the new home for humanities at Oxford, providing state-of-the-art facilities for seven faculties, the Institute for Ethics in AI, and the Oxford Internet Institute. It will house a new humanities library, as well as public-facing exhibition and performance spaces  The Ineos Oxford Institute for AMR Research is a new cutting-edge institute to combat the growing global threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in both humans and animals  Reuben College is Oxford’s newest college, bringing graduate students and academics from traditionally different disciplines together to work on global challenges including artificial intelligence and machine learning; environmental change; ethics and values; and cellular life 3  The Poonawalla Vaccines Research Building will house over 300 research scientists providing the focus and scale for the University’s major vaccine development programmes, allowing a rapid expansion of this fastgrowing, translational area  The Moh Family Foundation is supporting the work of Oxford University’s Pandemic Sciences Institute, greatly strengthening its ability to identify and counter future pandemic threats and ensure equitable access to treatments and vaccines around the world  The Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science has been established to pioneer the better use of data, evidence, and digital tools in healthcare and policy, optimising the impact of interventions to achieve improved outcomes  The Dieter Schwarz Foundation is supporting an ambitious programme of research dedicated to investigating the impact of AI and other game-changing technologies. They have also provided a major boost to the study and teaching of German at Oxford, principally through the endowment of the Schwarz-Taylor Chair in the German Language and Literature The University of Oxford has been successful in raising donations from a broad, international range of donors, including alumni, non-alumni, foundations and trusts, and corporations. Medical Sciences at Oxford Oxford is one of the world’s leading biomedical universities recognised for its outstanding quality and depth across the medical research spectrum - from genes to molecules, to big data and populations. With the honour of 12 Nobel Laureates over its long and distinguished history, the Division is consistently at the forefront of innovative and lifesaving science. Our researchers work across the full range of biomedical and clinical sciences, from the molecule to large population studies. The excellence of our research is recognised by our top placing in international league tables. The extraordinary depth and breadth of medical skills at Oxford is devoted to identifying the causes of disease, improving diagnosis and developing effective treatment and prevention. The Division is particularly interested in the “big” diseases where millions of lives can be saved – cancer, and infectious diseases such as malaria and pandemic preparedness. It also has world-leading research programmes in cardiovascular diseases, musculoskeletal disorders such as arthritis and osteoporosis and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Medical education and training runs hand in hand with research – not only training students who will go on to be clinicians but, equally importantly, teachers and academics. The Medical School, with its strong emphasis on the sciences that underpin medicine, trains students of the highest academic merit. For the twelfth year running, Oxford’s Medical School has ranked number 1 in the world (Times Higher Education). The Division comprises 16 departments, and their constituent units, institutes and centres, spread across 73 buildings in multiple sites in Oxford and includes numerous clinical research units in 40 different countries. Over 5800 academics, researchers and administrative staff, 2300 graduate and 1800 undergraduate students together contribute to the Division’s extensive and exemplary research, teaching and clinical portfolios. For further information please go to: www.medsci.ox.ac.uk Department of Psychiatry The Department of Psychiatry, based on the Warneford Hospital site in Oxford, has an international reputation for excellence. The Head of Department is Professor Belinda Lennox. The Department has a substantial research programme, and provides highly rated medical training in psychiatry. There are approximately 220 staff including 33 principal investigators leading research groups investigating applying a wide range of approaches from translational neuroscience, experimental medicine, epidemiology, clinical trials and health services research to developmental disorders, mood disorders, cognitive disorders and self-harm and suicide. There are strong links 4 with other departments and institutes both within and outside Oxford: these links ensure that we can apply the best scientific methods to psychiatric and cognitive disorders. For more information please visit: http://www.psych.ox.ac.uk The Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences (NDCN) NDCN’s aim is to carry out high quality research into the function of the nervous system in health and disease. Led by Professor Kevin Talbot, they have a multidisciplinary workforce of close to 500 people, mostly based at the John Radcliffe Hospital, but also spread across the University. They are an integrated part of the broader neuroscience community across Oxford, with many links to other departments. Many of NDCN’s scientists are also practising clinicians and provide general and specialist care through the Oxford University Hospitals Foundation NHS Trust. Through their DPhil programme, and very strong group of early career researchers they play an important role in developing the careers of young scientists. NDCN builds on a long history of research in neurology, brain imaging, eye disorders, and anaesthetics in Oxford which has made major contributions to our understanding of how the brain works and to the development of treatments which have changed lives.
