Professor Matthias Winkel has won a 2025 Mathematical, Physical, and Life Sciences (MPLS) Teaching Award, recognised for his exceptional ability to engage students with probability theory.

Professor Charlotte Deane from the Department of Statistics will help shape the UK government's new AI for Science strategy as one of five experts appointed to advise on the initiative.

Dr Tara Trauthwein, a postdoctoral research associate working on probability theory in the Department of Statistics, has been awarded the University of Luxembourg's 2025 Rolf Tarrach Award for her doctoral thesis. 

The Department of Statistics is pleased to announce the appointment of Professor Cecilia Lindgren as a Visiting Professor in Statistics for three years.

Professor Charlotte Deane from the Department of Statistics has been announced as a senior principal investigator on a £8 million government-backed consortium that will create the world's largest dataset for AI-driven drug discovery.

Predicting how small molecules (or “ligands”) bind to proteins and other macromolecules like DNA and RNA is an important part of computer-aided drug discovery. Oxford Protein Informatics Group DPhil Student, Martin Buttenschoen, Professor Charlotte Deane and Professor Garrett M. Morris recently examined how well deep learning-based methods can dock a ligand into a protein pocket.

Professor Charlotte Deane has been elected as a fellow of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) as part of the 2025 Class of Fellows.
