Curiosity Carnival

Curiosity Carnival (European Researchers Night) is nearly here! Join us on 29 September as researchers across RDM showcase their research in Oxford’s largest ever public engagement event. From a dance performance about heart rhythm research and virtual reality genetics, through to uncovering the mysteries of your amazing blood – we will be dotted across Oxford’s amazing museums.

Congratulations to our new Professors!

Congratulations to Prof Marella de Brujin (Professor of Developmental Haematopoiesis), Prof Deborah Gill (Professor of Gene Medicine) and Prof Charalambos Antoniades (Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine) who were all awarded the title of full professor in the recent Recognition of Distinction Exercise. This is a huge achievement and reflects not only their research achievements but commitment to teaching and ‘good citizenship’ within the department and beyond.

Blood donors could give blood more often

New research shows that blood donors could safely give blood more frequently than is allowed at present. At the moment in the UK men can give blood every 12 weeks, women every 16 weeks. The new research demonstrates that in certain situations and for certain donors, shortening the donation interval is a viable approach for blood services to take.
