Giving to the Biology Department

The Department of Biology brings together world-leading research and teaching with a shared commitment to addressing some of the most pressing challenges facing our planet.

The department is entering a new era defined by deeper discovery and greater collaboration, as our planet is facing unprecedented challenges. Our world-leading science, combined with your support, puts us on the path to solving them. From global pandemics and climate change to biodiversity loss and sustainable food production, biology will play a central role in shaping our future.

Biology at Oxford has always been globally recognised for its excellence in both teaching and research. A new framework brings our strengths into sharper focus: five dynamic research hubs, spanning the full breadth of the life sciences and designed to encourage innovation and impact across disciplines.

At this pivotal moment in our history, we invite you to join us on this journey. Your support helps us advance groundbreaking research while training the next generation of biologists.
