Pandemic Sciences Institute

The Pandemic Sciences Institute (PSI) is an interdisciplinary research institute at the University of Oxford with a mission to discover, create and enable practical solutions to infectious disease threats worldwide. Our vision is a world where people and societies are better protected from infectious diseases. We work with academia, industry and public health organisations across the world to create science-led innovations, accelerate understanding, and develop new diagnostics, treatments, vaccines and disease control tools. Launched in 2022, PSI brings together researchers from across all four divisions of the University of Oxford: Medical Sciences; Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences; Social Sciences; and Humanities. We have 200 core PSI research and support staff, with an additional 400 or more affiliated staff and students, based at institutes and centres across the University. PSI is hosted by the University’s Nuffield Department of Medicine.
