Global Reputation - 70th in the QS World Rankings (the 14th highest placed UK university) Research project - Scientists from the School of Medicine identified a previously undetected layer of the cornea, the clear protective lens that sits in front of the eye.The group, led by Harminder Dua, professor of ophthalmology at Nottingham, found a distinct layer deep in the corneal tissue that plays a vital role in the flow of fluid from the eye. The discovery has been named “Dua’s layer” in honour of the Nottingham scientist.

CIEL Membership DAIRY lead for CIEL: Dairy Health and Welfare Unit: a state of the art, totally flexible unit, to conduct research on interactions between environment-genotype-animal physiology-welfare. Dairy Nutritional Research Unit: A cutting edge nutritional research facility for high yielding milking cows. Cows will be individually fed with continuous recording of feed intake, milk yield, live weight, activity and rumination, linked to detailed measurements of cow metabolism and physiology. Dairy Young Stock Unit: facilities for research on nutrition, health and husbandry of dairy heifers. An integrated containment facility (cat 2) for lactating cattle; to conduct research into host pathogen interactions, mammary gland biology,  vaccine  /  therapeutic  development  and other milking and mastitis related issues.
