President

Luke Carroll

Hello! I’m a second year medic at Magdalen college. Personalised medicine, and its possibilities to change the worlds of individual treatments and research has been one of my main motivators to study medicine. I hope that this year we can share and grow our passion as a society for this incedible and unique science! Beyond my studies, I enjoy climbing, acting, writing and music.

Vice President

Jun Hao

Hi all! I'm Jun Hao, a 3rd year medic at Trinity College, and the Vice President of OUPM. My role largely consists of supporting the President and the rest of executive and main committee as best as I can! I have great interest in the future of Medicine and I believe personalised medicine will be a driver and a mainstay of healthcare going forward - starting with diseases with clear genetic components, and expanding beyond. Outside of my studies, I enjoy various sports and getting involved in the communities I'm apart of!

Treasurer 

Ingrid Chan

Hello! I’m Ingrid, a second year medic at Hertford College. I was first drawn to personalised medicine whilst learning about precision oncology, and also explored genetic testing in rare disease diagnoses through writing an article for OUPM last year. It’s a really exciting field and I hope to both learn more about it whilst contributing to OUPM through my role as treasurer this year. Outside of academics, I love eating, going on walks, and have recently been exploring other sports such as ice / inline skating and bouldering. I’m looking forward to working with the rest of the committee to bring the best of OUPM to our members!

Secretary

Saranda

My name is Saranda, and I’m a 3rd year medical student at Worcester College. I’m also the incoming secretary for OUPMS. Within the field of personalized medicine, I am particularly interested in the effects of lifestyle habits on health. In my free time, I enjoy being with my family and playing sports. I look forward to meeting everyone and can’t wait to welcome new members this year!

Co-Speakers Officer 

Ashish Singh

Hi, I’m Ashish! I’m a 3rd year medical student at Balliol acting as one of OUPM’s Speakers Officers. I’m really excited to join the committee and shape future speaker events as someone particularly interested in the ethical and economic nuances of personalised medicine innovations.

Co-Speakers Officer 

Vivek

Hi! I'm Vivek, a 3rd-year medical student at Lady Margaret Hall. I'm interested in the application of personalised medicine in oncology, particularly the use of biomarkers and radiomics to stratify patients for specific interventions. I also have an interest in the application of LLMs for medical literature retrieval and how we can rigorously test their outputs. Outside of medicine, I enjoy playing Floorball. I look forward organising some exciting talks this academic year.

Co-Educational Officer

Jemima Chan

Hi, I’m Jemima, a second year Medic at Keble College! My interest in personalised medicine focuses around individualised gene editing, notably on its ability to eradicate symptoms of previously thought ‘incurable’ diseases such as sickle cell. Outside of my degree, I enjoy playing the piano and watching tv shows. As one of your next education officers, I look forward to discovering and sharing new advances of personalised medicine in bettering diagnosis, treatment, and research!

Co-Educational Officer

Shrey Gala 

Hey guys! I'm Shrey, a 3rd year medic at Trinity College. My interest in personalised medicine grew out of oncology, particularly how human physiology can adapt to stress so differently from person to person. That's what led me to write about how different types of hypoxia shape tumour behaviour and how we can use this to personalise treatment for GeneZene '26. Outside of academic work, I enjoy playing badminton and playing in the University String Ensemble. Keep an eye on the newsletter for more on how physiology and personalised medicine intersect!

Gene 'Zine Editor-in-Chief

Honor Davies

Hi, I’m Honor, a fourth-year Biochemistry student at Queen’s College! I’m particularly interested in cancer immunotherapy and the potential of personalised neoantigen vaccines, exploring how the immune system can be harnessed to deliver highly targeted treatments. I’m also fascinated by the potential of organoid technologies to advance personalised medicine by modelling disease and testing new therapies. This year, I’ll be undertaking my Master’s project using human lymphoid organoids to investigate how immune cells interact and coordinate their responses! This is my second year as Editor-in-Chief of the Gene ‘Zine, and I’m passionate about communicating scientific ideas in an accessible, engaging and visually impactful way. I hope you enjoy this year’s editions as much as we enjoy creating them! Outside the lab, you’ll usually find me drawing, baking or working on a creative writing project.

Gene 'Zine Editor-in-Chief

Joshua Lam

Hi, I’m Joshua and I’m a fourth year biomedic at St Edmund Hall. I’m fascinated by how personalised medicine transformed the pipeline of bench-to-bedside-to-business, bringing positive and tangible impacts to society. As the editor-in-chief, I’m inspired by how creativity brings personalised medicine to life, reaching a wider audience.

Gene 'Zine Editor-in-Chief

Hossameldin

This year, I look forward to help my co-EICs to present three outstanding issues.

IT Officer and Co-Publicity Officer

Eva Knightley

Hi everyone! I'm Eva, a 3rd year biomedical sciences student at Lady Margaret Hall. The topics I enjoy most on my course are oncology, immunology and pharmacology, and I am particularly interested in how we can harness the powers of personalised cancer therapies, whether it be through drugs or immunotherapy, to improve survival and quality of life for cancer patients. This is why I chose this topic to write about for the HT-TT26 Gene Zine edition, which I thoroughly enjoyed writing. As someone interested in possibly pursuing science journalism, outside of my studies I am also involved as a writer and sub-editor for the Oxford Scientist. My other hobbies include sports, exploring cafes, pop music and hanging out with my friends. I am very excited to be the incoming IT officer and one of the publicity officers, keeping the website up to date and promoting the society events on our social medias to hopefully boost awareness and engagement. It is a great society to be a part of, since it offers such great opportunities for students to widen their knowledge of the personalised medicine field! 

Co-Publicity Officer

Sophie Lee

Hi, I'm Sophie Lee, a second year Biologist at St Anne's. I am interested in the role that efficient and cutting edge medical care plays in our current, rapidly shifting landscape of global health. I'm fascinated by the links between climate change effects on biosecurity, shifting global disease patterns and how populations respond differently to environmental and health challenges.  As part of the publicity team, I will be posting regularly on the OUPM instagram to further our reach in Oxford. I look forward to meeting everyone!
