在生物医学领域,自从弗雷明在伦敦发现青霉素后。今天用得最广的抗生素,1955年为牛津的爱德华·阿布拉罕发现。牛津也致力于将分子生物学应用于临床,将核磁共振原理应用于 医疗诊断,在发现人体的免疫系统和应用基因工程技术于临床问题方面,牛津亦起领导作用。该校在艾滋病毒、移植手术和遗传病研究等方面也很有潜力。1987年斯奎波父子公司赠予该校药学系2,000万英镑,以支持他们的研究工作。
在环境科学领域,牛津的研究涉及森林史、气候变化、遥感、土地利用、野生动物保护、家畜管理、污染、腐蚀、沙漠侵犯等众多课题。
立思辰河南留学360邹思君老师介绍说,牛津的固体物理、高磁学、激光研究、基本粒子研究和大气物理学等均在世界上占领先地位。物理系的克拉伦登实验室在世界核研究领域中起着特殊的作用。基础研究还导向重要的工业开发,包括 建立了如牛津仪器公司和牛津激光公司之类的企业。
仅在化学系,牛津就拥有4位诺贝尔奖得主。该校 在蛋白质、新型无机材料合成、分子的计算机辅助设计等方面都有重大成果问世,并在化工、医药、微电子工业等领域推广应用。
