Child protection pioneer appointed as professor
We’ve appointed a leading expert in the safeguarding of young people at risk of abuse as a professor in our Department of Sociology.
Record-breaking whale migration raises conservation questions
One of our professors has used genetics to identify the birthplace of a grey whale which was discovered nearly halfway round the world from its native habitat, a new record for the longest recorded distance for a marine mammal, fish or reptile.
New £1.4m enterprise zone at NETPark opens
The zone will provide bespoke support to technology and science-focused small and medium enterprises.
Astronomers apply their skills to cancer research
You might not think that studying the universe could benefit research into serious illnesses like cancer, but Durham’s astronomers have joined forces with cancer researchers to improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
Can the height of your house reduce malaria?
Whilst we think of the home as a sanctuary, in Africa, around 80% of malaria bites occur indoors at night. Preventing mosquitoes from getting indoors is a simple way of protecting people from this often lethal disease.
Mapping the universe in 3D
We’ve helped design and build a new telescope instrument that aims to create the most extensive 3D map of the universe ever attempted.
Developed in Durham: Gliff.ai
Developing world-class artificial intelligence for the medical, environmental and industrial sectors, Gliff.ai now employs 11 people after being launched as a spin-out from Durham University in 2018.
Inspiring the next generation of space scientists
We’re inspiring the next generation of astronomers and cosmologists to aim for the stars! Our research and expertise shapes a number of outreach activities, delivered by our students and staff, to encourage young people to get involved in science.
Furthering the exploration of space
Durham’s researchers are helping to build some of the world’s most powerful new telescopes to further our exploration of space. Our astronomers and cosmologists are also involved in major international projects that will hunt two of the universe’s most mysterious ingredients – dark matter and dark energy – and investigate how the universe formed.
Supporting business through astronomy
Durham’s astronomers and cosmologists are increasingly sharing their knowledge and expertise to support business. From washing powder to x-ray machines, our experts are helping to improve products for customers and enhance research and development in industry.
Developed in Durham: Applied Graphene Materials
2020 was a year of transition, of changing mindsets and, most importantly, a year of evolution. Throughout this, our research continues to be translated into thriving spin-out businesses that will boost the North East economy for many years to come.
