A new collaborative study involving DPAG's Wilson and Goberdhan Groups and the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences (NDS) has revealed surprising parallels between \u2018prostate\u2019 cells in flies and cancer patients.
The new Physiological Society report \"Growing Older, Better\" highlights physiology's role in meeting the UK Government's healthy ageing mission. Associate Professor Vladyslav Vyazovskiy and Novo Nordisk Postdoctoral Fellow Laura McKillop\u00a0contributed a research spotlight at the report's launch at the Houses of Parliament.
Congratulations are in order to Matthew Kerr, Andia Redpath, Susann Bruche, KC Park and Minahil Mujahid for their achievements at this major showcase for Oxford's British Heart Foundation funded Researchers.
The annual lecture given this year by a world leading stem cell scientist is held in honour of John Burdon-Sanderson, the University of Oxford's first Waynflete Professor of Physiology, after whom the Cardiac Centre is named.
The award recognises and solidifies Professor Tyler's collaborative work with the MR Research Centre, part of the Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of Aarhus.

In conjunction with the Athena SWAN initiative and organised by Professor Kieran Clarke, a dinner was held on Monday 30 September at Merton College for female researchers.
Event video for the Newton-Abraham Lecture 2019, delivered by Professor Donald M. Bers, Ph.D. on Wednesday 25 September 2019 at the Oxford University Natural History Museum. The lecture discusses the mechanisms by which calcium orchestrates cardiac function in health and is also involved in heart failure and life-threatening arrhythmias.
Professor Zolt\u00e1n Moln\u00e1r was elected to deliver the 2019 Ray Guillery Lecture at the Grossman Institute for Neuroscience at University of Chicago.
The release of dopamine in the brain plays a key role in determining how we respond when we perceive a potential reward or benefit. But so far little has been understood about the mechanism behind this. A new collaborative paper from Prof Stephanie Cragg's Group and Prof Ed Mann published in Nature Communications has uncovered a dominant regulator of the dynamics of dopamine output.
The Breakthrough Prize is renowned as the \u201cOscars of Science\" and honours transformative advances towards understanding living systems and extending human life. Associate Professor Ana Domingos reflects on her past experiences working with Dr Friedman and how these impacted her research today.
The Medical Sciences Teaching Excellence Awards scheme recognises and rewards excellence in teaching, supervision, the organisation and development of teaching, and support for teaching and learning, within a research-intensive environment.
Wellcome Trust Henry Dale Fellow Dr Adam Packer has been awarded a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant to investigate the function of the Claustrum, a poorly understood area of the brain that could hold the key to how the brain processes information from our environment to generate perception and drive our decisions.
The scheme is a collaboration between Oxford University, the global drug discovery company Evotec, and the investment fund Oxford Sciences Innovation (OSI).
Professor Zolt\u00e1n Moln\u00e1r has edited a special issue of Journal of Anatomy with Dr Gavin Clowry from the University of Newcastle on Human Brain Development. This issue contains 15 original articles, an overview and an editorial on Human Brain Development.
This year's \"Reflections of Research\" competition, run by the British Heart Foundation, selects \"The Forming Heart\" by Dr Richard Tyser as the Judge's runner-up
A new Medium article from our Department explores how optogenetics has transformed neuroscientific research and opened new possibilities for the treatment of brain disorders, and sheds light on the series of early research work undertaken by Professor Gero Miesenb\u00f6ck and his team to evolve this breakthrough technology.
