The College warmly congratulates fourth-year Medical student Danny McAlea, who has been awarded both the British Pharmacological Society Clinical Undergraduate Prize for Intercalated Research Project and the University’s Wronker Grant for excellent performance in the Honour School of Medical Sciences.
Danny’s research in the Radcliffe Department of Cardiovascular Medicine investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying atrial fibrillation, focusing on the role of calcitonin receptors in reducing cardiac fibrosis. His work contributes to a deeper understanding of this common and serious heart condition.
Reflecting on his time at Queen’s so far, Danny shared:
“I can think of no better place to have spent the last few years and wouldn’t change it for the world.”

Growing conversations: Movember at Queen’s 🥸
We caught up with Jack (Materials Science), Joaquin (PPE), and Bastie (Materials Science), the trio leading this year’s JCR Movember campaign.
From hash browns in Hall to late afternoons in the New Library, they’re finding time between lectures to rally the College behind an important cause: men’s health.
Movember isn’t just about moustaches, it’s about removing stigma and starting conversations that save lives.
Last year, Queen’s raised nearly £5,000 and topped the leaderboards. This year, the team is aiming even higher, with pledges ranging from bleached moustaches to marathons up and down Queen’s Lane.

🕯️ This Halloween, we’re looking at the undead through the eyes of a scholar.
Vampire panics, grave mutilations, and ancient demons: what do they have in common?
According to Professor John Blair, Emeritus Fellow of Queen’s, quite a lot. In his new book, 'Killing the Dead: Vampire Epidemics from Mesopotamia to the New World', Professor Blair uncovers the dark, global history of how humans have “killed” the dead, and why these rituals often arise in times of trauma.
Far from the gothic clichés, his work reveals how belief in the “dangerous dead” reflects deep questions about grief, fear, and the boundary between life and death.
🩸 “Surely killing the dead,” he writes, “is better than killing the living.”
