All postgraduate students at Queen’s become members of the Middle Common Room (MCR).
The MCR is a diverse and welcoming community of scholars. The MCR committee organises a variety of social and cultural events, as well as providing general support to our graduates.
The MCR is also a physical space in College located in the Front Quad. It has sofas, kitchen facilities, and provides a convivial setting to socialise with other graduate students.

After more than 40 years of service, Assistant Steward Sean Meade is hanging up his keys. Having started at the College in 1981 as a sixteen-year-old, Sean has seen the institution evolve from a world of paper tickets and 26p pints to the digital age, all while working as a literal “heavy lifter” of the community.

Wishing you a happy retirement.

📱Can a smartphone game help predict the next pandemic? 😷
Professor Jasmina Panovska-Griffiths, Lecturer in Probability and Statistics at Queen’s, has co-led a major international study published in ‘Nature Health’ that introduces a novel “gamified” approach to infectious disease modelling.
Using a mobile app, participants simulate the spread of an outbreak, generating data on human behaviour and decision-making, from isolation choices to vaccine uptake. The result: more realistic models that reflect how people actually behave, and not how we assume they will.

Queen’s women lead the pack 🏃♀️
Congratulations to Juliette McGrath, Ellie Whelan, Sara Lee, and Georgia Campbell, who stormed to victory at this year’s Teddy Hall Relays, one of the highlights of Oxford’s running calendar.
Their win reflects not just individual performance, but the strength of the Queen’s College Run Club: a supportive, inclusive community where early mornings, shared miles, and the pastry stop build something more than results.

🥼How do you diagnose a disease that often shows no symptoms until it’s too late? 🔬
One of our graduate students, Erica, is researching Metabolic Dysfunction–Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), exploring how non-invasive tools like MRI could replace biopsy and help identify risk earlier.
🏥The aim is more personalised care, earlier intervention, and better outcomes for patients.
‘My interests lay in translational research as I think it is inherently interdisciplinary and rewarding to see the potential from bench to bedside.’
