Medical Sciences Division The Medical Sciences Division is an internationally recognised centre of excellence for biomedical and clinical research and teaching. We are the largest academic division in the University of Oxford. World-leading programmes, housed in state-of-the-art facilities, cover the full range of scientific endeavour from the molecule to the population. With our NHS partners we also foster the highest possible standards in patient care. For more information please visit: www.medsci.ox.ac.uk 5 Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences The Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences (NDORMS) is part of the Medical Sciences Division and is the largest European academic department in its field, running a globally competitive programme of research and teaching. Our mission is to discover the causes of musculoskeletal and inflammatory conditions to deliver excellent and innovative care that improves people’s quality of life. Our highly skilled teams have expertise in a broad range of areas, including orthopaedic surgery, inflammation, immunology, rheumatology, medical statistics, epidemiology, and clinical trials. We currently have 460 staff, 100 students and have a grants portfolio worth over £148 million, and an annual turnover in excess of £38 million. The Kennedy Institute is a biomedical research centre uniquely bringing together discovery science and earlystage clinical research, to develop transformative new therapies for chronic inflammatory and musculoskeletal conditions. Broadly focused on the thematic areas of immunity and microbiome, inflammation biology and tissue remodelling and repair, the Institute’s research is relevant for a range of common diseases such as arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, fibrosis and cancer. The Institute has capacity for up to 260 staff and students who work collaboratively across 25 research groups. This enables a multidisciplinary approach of molecular and cellular biology, combined with analysis of disease models, patient tissue samples and longitudinal clinical data. Collectively, these studies seek to uncover the biological processes that maintain tissue health and how these pathways break down in disease. Research at the Institute is supported by a suite of core technology platforms, as well as through strategic partnerships with other basic and clinical research centres in Oxford, across the UK and internationally. These state-of-the-art technologies include the Oxford-Zeiss Centre for Excellence and other advanced microscopy and imaging facilities, mass and flow cytometry, as well as capabilities for microbial genomics and functional microbiome studies made available through the Oxford Centre for Microbiome Studies. Complementing a strong programme of lab-based research, the Institute has established a core of expertise and technologies in data science including single cell genomics, statistical genetics, computational biology, and research informatics. A recent extension to the Institute building with a new third floor creates additional space purposely designed for computationally intensive research. A true trendsetter in innovative and transformational research, the Kennedy also boasts a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, revolving around its bright and airy atrium that provides a space for colleagues to meet over coffee and tea to talk about their research and beyond throughout the day. For more information please visit: http://www.kennedy.ox.ac.uk 6 The Botnar Research Centre enables and encourages research and education into the causes of musculoskeletal disease and their treatment. The Centre provides world-class facilities for scientists in the field of musculoskeletal research. It takes a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing orthopaedic, rehabilitation and rheumatology clinical scientists, bone oncologists, laboratory scientists, epidemiologists, engineers and statisticians. The Botnar also hosts the Oxford Clinical Trials Research Unit (OCTRU) and the Centre of Statistics in Medicine (CSM), providing excellent statistical support to all aspects of clinical research. The Botnar opened in 2002, with a large annex completed in 2013. The Botnar is now home to around 300 staff and postgraduate students enjoying the international and friendly atmosphere of this workplace and benefits from the vast knowledge of leading experts in the field of musculoskeletal research. To accommodate its rapid growth, the Centre has opened another wing in early 2022. The new space provides additional 1000m2 of office and 1000m2 of laboratory space. The laboratory space includes a GMP clean room facility suitable for the manufacturing of biomaterials for human implantation. Sharing the site of the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, the largest specialist academic musculoskeletal hospital in the UK, puts the Botnar in a unique position to foster the collaboration between basic scientists and clinicians, which is essential to success in medical research. 7 Athena Swan The Athena SWAN Awards specifically recognise success in developing employment practices to further and support the careers of women in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM) departments in academia.
