Welcome to the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences (NDCN). Our aim is to carry out high quality research into the function of the nervous system in health and disease. We have a multidisciplinary workforce of close to 500 people, mostly based at the John Radcliffe Hospital, but also spread across the University. We are an integrated part of the broader neuroscience community across Oxford, with many links to other departments. Many of our scientists are also practising clinicians and provide general and specialist care through the Oxford University Hospitals Foundation NHS Trust. Through our DPhil programme, and our very strong group of early career researchers we play an important role in developing the careers of young scientists. NDCN builds on a long history of research in neurology, brain imaging, eye disorders, and anaesthetics in Oxford which has made major contributions to our understanding of how the brain works and to the development of treatments which have changed lives. Major discoveries made by NDCN scientists include the discovery of a type of cell in the eye which helps regulate our body clock, new techniques to image the human brain, devices to make anaesthesia safer, methods to prevent vascular diseases of the brain including stroke and forms of dementia, understanding and treating chronic pain, pioneering treatments such as gene therapy for inherited eye disorders, and the diagnosis and treatment of immunological disorders of the nervous system. The Department consists of six Divisions:

Our vision is to see the global church equipped to participate in the realisation of God’s transforming mission through research and applied scholarship. Whether church or mission leaders, scholars, or practitioners, OCMS exists to bring the understanding and practice of mission into two-way conversation with scholarship, so that the church, in all its rich, global diversity, grows in fruitful, faithful witness to the Lordship of Christ in every sphere of life. Our Focus Areas Our goal is to build reflective practitioners equipped to serve the church globally, as it participates in God’s whole-life mission. We do this in four key ways: EQUIPPING We aim to: Equip God-fearing, servant leaders to become thought leaders in their culture & context Enable mission practitioners and scholars, particularly from the countries of Asia, Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe, to develop fresh understanding and practice through relevant and engaged research in service of the Church We do this through: PhD programme Guided Research Programme Integrated Mission Leadership Programme Partnership development programme with institutions around the world RESEARCH We aim to: Respond to questions and issues identified by the church with timely, strategic and rigorous research Leverage OCMS’ position as a global hub to prioritise focused mission research that will Support the development of authentic local and cross-cultural mission practices We do this through: The research of our faculty, students and research associates The OCMS Forum for Faithful Witness and research clusters
