RDFox: managing semi-structured data

The internet contains a huge amount of semi-structured data – data which cannot easily be sorted into tables with pre-defined categories, and is therefore difficult to manage. However, researchers at the University of Oxford’s Department of Computer Science have developed methods to manage and exploit this type of data.

Optics and Photonics Impact Acceleration Engineers

Research through the Oxford Photonics Network has led to a wide range of innovative photonic technology, and there is significant potential for industrial exploitation. However, it is difficult for individual research groups to respond at short notice to opportunities that may facilitate impact in the industrial sector. Using EPSRC IAA funding, Professor Martin Booth set up the Optical Systems Engineering Group (OSEG) in the Department of Engineering Science, specifically to address this gap.

Virtual Assay – modelling the effect of drugs on the heart

Over half of the 40 drugs withdrawn from the market in the last 40 years have been removed because of unanticipated cardiac effects. Researchers at the University of Oxford’s Department of Computer Science have developed and applied computer modelling software that can predict and explain variation in the effect of drugs on heart tissue in different people.

Synthesis of Niraparib, a cancer drug candidate

Researchers at the University of Oxford’s Department of Chemistry have developed methods for the rapid synthesis of compounds used in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery. These compounds feature in the core of several drug candidates currently in phase II and phase III clinical trials for various types of cancer.

Transfer of Skills to Nuclear National Laboratory

The Nuclear National Laboratory (NNL) is the national laboratory tasked with underpinning the science base that supports civil nuclear power in the UK. Their capability in this role was expanded by the transfer of skills by Oxford University staff from the Department of Materials.
