Enhance your sleep and dreaming experiences with the transformative power of plants. You may already be familiar with the calming effects of chamomile and lavender for a restful night’s sleep, but there’s much more to discover.

We have been ranked third in the UK for interdisciplinary science research.

We are celebrating a milestone in our collaboration with the Wolfson Foundation as Paul Ramsbottom, the Foundation's chief executive, visited us recently to mark 50 years of groundbreaking collaborative work, which has contributed to numerous pioneering projects across our University.

In a new study, scientists from our top-rated Biosciences department joined forces with researchers from Jagiellonian University (Poland), and the John Innes Centre to reveal how a bacterial enzyme called DNA gyrase twists and stabilises DNA.

Our MammalWeb project has won a national biodiversity award for its work to gather information on the distribution, abundance, habits and behaviours of UK and European wild mammals.

We’re sharing in an investment of almost £30m to train the next generation of researchers to tackle the world’s environmental challenges.

An international team of researchers, including Dr Peter Etchells from our Department of Biosciences, have published new research which brings to light new discoveries in the development and understanding of stem cells.

Our researchers have explored how Arctic marine species could be impacted by climate change and rising sea temperatures in the future. 

Our researchers are changing lives by equipping clinicians and patients with the skills to help manage painful health conditions without using potentially harmful strong opioids.

A new drug called Ellorarxine is offering hope to those suffering from motor neurone disease (MND), according to a recent study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences.

Congratulations to Dr Adrian Brennan on his new research just published in Current Biology.

We along with Newcastle University and Northumbria University have been awarded a Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) ALERT grant to acquire a powerful new cryo-electron microscope (cryoEM).
