THE rankings use 13 separate performance indicators to cover universities’ core missions across teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook. The award follows a year when the University of Oxford has been at the centre of international attention for its work on finding a vaccine for COVID-19 as well as taking a leading role in trialling therapeutic drugs and antibody testing.
Emerging infections
Asia has long been the source of infectious diseases that have escalated into epidemics or pandemics, notably SARS-CoV-2 and influenza. As new pandemic threats continue to arise, research at MORU focuses on genomic and immunological surveillance of emerging infections, the development and evaluation of new methods of assessing therapeutics, and their large-scale assessment in order to inform policies and practices.
