A Russell Group powerhouse where ageing science, mitochondrial medicine and climate engineering meet a fierce civic mission in England's North East.
Newcastle researchers find that old chemotherapy-era risk factors no longer predict relapse in children treated with blinatumomab, and build a new tool that is already changing UK guidelines.
Newcastle is among the first UK centres to deploy a nanopore sequencing test that could compress weeks of brain tumour diagnostics into days, with results during surgery an eventual aspiration.
A World Weather Attribution study involving Newcastle glaciologist Bethan Davies unpicks how glacier thinning, permafrost thaw and record heat combined in the catastrophic Langtang Lirung collapse.
Interviews with communities in Lunana, Bhutan, after the 2019 and 2023 outburst floods show that river sounds, ground vibrations and phone networks often beat formal warning systems.
Newcastle neuroscientists and the Blue Brain Project modelled how acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin reshape the activity of tens of thousands of neurons, from deep sleep rhythms to waking.
The largest 7Li MRI study to date, led by Newcastle with TU Dresden, shows brain lithium tracks blood levels across the day and sits higher in white matter than grey.
Simulating a predator attack changed how bumblebees see contrast and fine detail, and made them commit to visual choices faster without losing accuracy, Newcastle researchers report.
Newcastle engineers unveil a water-based adhesive that joins components like solder but washes apart on demand, letting silver and circuit boards be recovered from electronic waste.
Five years of monitoring at Goldrill Beck, restored with the National Trust, found flood waves delayed by up to 90 minutes and the river's area expanded by almost half.
Using a coral pedigree tracked for eight years, Newcastle researchers show assisted evolution only outpaces warming if the top 1 to 5 percent most heat-tolerant corals are selected, generation after generation.
Satellite analysis of North Atlantic cyclones from 2001 to 2024, led from Newcastle's School of Engineering, finds rainfall rising around 21 percent per degree and storms growing in the warmest waters.
A 28-expert review led by Newcastle's Adriana Humanes sets out nine research priorities and three catalysts to speed up coral assisted evolution before warming outruns the field.
Lord Patrick Vallance toured the UKRI-funded National Edge AI Hub, which Newcastle leads with 15 university partners, seeing work on cyber resilience and the security of AI-enabled systems.
Blood serum taken after a short, hard cycling bout changed the activity of more than 1,300 genes in laboratory bowel cancer cells, including genes governing DNA repair and growth.
A 20,000-year reconstruction by Newcastle and Durham researchers shows warm Atlantic water, not air temperature alone, triggered rapid retreat of an ice stream holding up to 1.4 metres of sea level rise.
A Newcastle-led randomised trial of 77 people found a novel sound modulation therapy cut tinnitus loudness by around 10 percent on average, with benefits lasting weeks after treatment ended.
Newcastle University received the Queen Elizabeth Prize, the UK's highest national honour for universities, for work that redefined dementia with Lewy bodies and reshaped clinical practice worldwide.
Sediment from East Antarctica's Sor Rondane Mountains is rich in bioavailable iron that feeds carbon-absorbing phytoplankton, a Nature Communications study with Newcastle fieldwork shows.
