Oxford launches new department to further bioscience teaching and research
The University of Oxford has today launched the Department of Biology which brings together the existing Departments of Zoology and Plant Sciences.
This merger presents new opportunities which will further enhance Oxford’s educational and research strengths in bioscience, bringing together world-leading scientists who are tackling major global challenges, from pandemics to the impacts of climate change, threats to biodiversity, and the securing of our food and natural resources.
Professor E.J Milner-Gulland and Mark Fricker joint Heads of the Department of Biology at the University of Oxford said: ‘The collaborative science undertaken by the Department of Biology will further our understanding of the complexities, interactions, and evolution of life on our planet, by answering fundamental scientific questions and tackling global challenges in biology.’
