Jewel Bennett

I first joined Lady Margaret Hall in 2019 to study my undergraduate medicine degree for which I am now in my final years of the course. During my time at Oxford, I have been a student representative on the Primary Care Committee and Surgical Teaching Committee as well as being the president of the Alison Brading Circle (LMH medical society) and the President of the William Osler House Club (university-wide clinical medicine society).

In 2021, I was selected by the university as one of their ‘Leaders of the Future’ in their ‘100 Women in Medical Sciences’ celebration. I have also been involved in widening participation programmes for the University as a mock interviewer for ‘Step into OxMed’.

I recently received the Alison Brading Scholarship from Lady Margaret Hall for academic excellence during the first 3 years of my course.

My research interests include molecular biochemistry and the use of artificial intelligence in Medicine. In 2021-22, I conducted a research project for my intercalated Foundation Honours School degree here at Oxford under Professor Antoniades and the translational cardiovascular research group at the John Radcliffe Hospital. Sponsored by the British Heart Foundation and the NHS, this project created an AI programme that uses machine learning and radiomic extraction on CT scans to assess the risk of an individual having or developing cardiovascular disease or diabetes.

I tutor undergraduate students throughout their first year of medicine in the modules of Anatomy and Organisation of the Body.
