Scientists at the Dunn School aim to discover the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying human health and disease. We are proud of our long history of exceptional achievements, and excited by the prospect of future discoveries.
The Dunn School has been fully international for nearly 100 years and Brexit will not change this. We continue to strive towards a community that celebrates and respects diversity of all kinds.
Around 300 scientists work at the Dunn School, including more than 100 postdoc scientists and 80 graduate students, from over 30 countries. Our outstanding facilities, mentorship and support provide them with a springboard to future success.
Coronavirus (Covid-19) Update
The health, welfare and safety of students and staff is our priority. The Department has now partially reopened as part of the University of Oxford return to work pilot programme. The department remains, however, closed to visitors and most of our staff and students are still working remotely, and can be reached via email or MS Teams (internal). Resources for our staff and students can be found on our intranet. For the latest University advice please check the University’s coronavirus page.
6 of our groups are still conducting important research on coronavirus, coordinating one of two coronavirus centres within the University. Find out more here.
