The Ineos Oxford Institute for Antimicrobial Research (IOI) Scientists at the IOI apply state of the art medicinal chemistry and microbiology approaches to antibacterial drug discovery to enable and promote the development of breakthrough new treatments for human bacterial infections. Our science-focused approach is interdisciplinary and highly collaborative, both within Oxford and internationally. We also undertake international collaborative studies with global surveillance and assessment programmes to understand the impact of antibiotic resistance on low-middle income country health and agricultural structures. We aim to develop important actionable estimates of the AMR burden that will impact global and regional policy decisions.

This includes on-going training of laboratory scientists, and a range of opportunities including PhD initiatives, short courses and seminar series. The IOI seeks to stimulate innovation and collaboration within academia and with industry and government. The overarching ambition is to be a world leading institution for the discovery of novel antibiotics and new approaches to combatting antimicrobial resistance. IOI is the hub of the Oxford AMR Network and funds multidisciplinary programmes within the university and beyond. The IOI also undertakes international collaborative studies with global surveillance and assessment programmes to understand the impact of antibiotic resistance on lowmiddle income country health and agricultural structures. We aim to develop important actionable estimates of the AMR burden that will impact global and regional policy decisions. Addressing antimicrobial resistance requires a global effort. It will be critical to develop the pipeline to train a cadre of scientists in the field of antimicrobial research. About the Mathematical, Physical, and Life Sciences (MPLS) Division The Mathematical, Physical, and Life Sciences (MPLS) Division is one of the four academic divisions of the University, alongside the Humanities, Social Sciences and Medical Sciences Divisions. It is led by an academic Head of Division (Professor James Naismith) and an administrative Divisional Registrar (Dr Tracy Gale) and comprises nine of the University’s academic departments – Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth Sciences, Engineering Science, Materials, the Mathematical Institute, Physics, and Statistics – as well as Begbroke Science Park, the multidisciplinary Ineos Oxford Institute for Antimicrobial Research and an interdisciplinary Doctoral Training Centre. The disciplines within the MPLS Division regularly appear at the highest levels in rankings, including the Times Higher Education and QS world rankings. Nationally, the quality of the Division’s research outputs and environment, and the resulting impact, was recognised through strong performances in the UK Research Excellence Framework in both 2014 and 2021. MPLS is proud to be home to some of the most creative and innovative scientific thinkers and leaders in academia, whose interdisciplinary research is tackling major societal and technological challenges, from new energy solutions or improved cancer treatments to understanding climate change processes and helping to preserve biodiversity, tackling antimicrobial resistance, advancing AI and quantum technologies and space exploration, and much more. The quality and impact of our work have been recognised by successive rounds of the national Research Excellence Framework and Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework exercises, and our departments frequently top the major higher education league tables. We teach around 7,300 students (including around 3,400 graduate students) and are playing a key part in training the next generation of leading scientists. Divisional activity is co-ordinated and represented by the MPLS Divisional Office based at 9 Parks Road, in the heart of Oxford’s Science Area. The Divisional Office, which is led by the Divisional Registrar, has around 55 dedicated members of staff, as well as a number of colleagues who are embedded in divisional teams but based in central University services (e.g. in Finance, HR and Development).
