Oxford University has secured £72m for groundbreaking research aimed at solving some of the world’s biggest problems.
Multi-millionaire computer scientist Dr James Martin promised to donate up to £33m if the university raised a similar amount in a year.

The cash will fund almost 20 projects on subjects such as brain manipulation, vaccine design, the future of cities and avoiding another banking crisis.
