Alumnus Dr Cian Wade receives a Fulbright Award to study at Harvard
Alumnus Dr Cian Wade (Clinical Medicine, 2015) has received a Fulbright Scholarship to enable him to study at Harvard University.
Cian, who was President of the Richard Doll Society during his time at Green Templeton, has been selected from a strong applicant pool to study a Master of Public Health at Harvard, commencing this year.
He hopes to combine his studies with developing research collaborations with academic colleagues in Boston. He is particularly interested in understanding why some patients are at higher risk of harm from healthcare than others, and how high quality leadership, strategy and evidence can contribute to reducing these inequalities.
Cian said he was ‘delighted’ to have received the Fulbright Scholarship and was looking forward to starting the MPH programme.
‘It will enable me to expand my professional horizons and skillset in order to contribute more meaningfully to addressing the major public health challenges facing the UK over the coming years,’ he said.
‘I am passionate about understanding how to empower healthcare systems and professionals to drive improvements in individual and population level health.’
Cian is also keen to get involved in sporting opportunities in the US: ‘Having previously toured the Ivy League Schools with the Oxford University football team whilst a student, I’m also very much looking forward to being able to once again play some more “soccer” whilst over there.’
Cian won a Green Templeton College Nautilus Award in recognition of his sporting achievements in playing University football, which included three Blues Varsity match wins and several international tours.
Congratulations to Cian on his Fulbright Scholarship!
The US-UK Fulbright Commission works to advance knowledge, promote civic engagement and to develop compassionate leaders through educational exchange between students in the US and the UK. It provides grants for postgraduate research, study and teaching, to help British and American students enrich their education, develop relationships, advance their careers, and make a difference in their fields of work.
Maria Balinska, Executive Director, US-UK Fulbright Commission said: ‘Our vision is a world where there are no obstacles to learning, understanding and collaboration. Today there are many global challenges to overcome, and the world needs compassionate leaders to tackle them. This cohort of postgraduate awardees will be placing cultural engagement at the heart of their experiences as they undertake ambitious study and research programmes in the US: I am filled with hope for the wonderful collaborations that will ensue.’
The Radcliffe Observatory has stood for over 250 years.
But heritage requires care and the building now needs restoration to preserve it for future generations.

The college is delighted to share the completion of the south landscaping at the Radcliffe Observatory 🌿
This new shared landscape sits at the heart of the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, made possible by the Stephen A. Schwarzman Foundation.
Work continues on Phase 1 of the Radcliffe Observatory project, including a new main entrance via the East Wing and improved accessibility with step-free access to all entrances.
Three Green Templeton students are heading to one of the world’s most iconic sporting stages 🚣♂️
Congratulations to Julietta Camahort (MSc in Financial Economics, 2025), Louis Corrigan (Clinical Medicine, 2024) and Julian Schoeberl (MSc in Modelling for Global Health, 2025) who have been selected for the Oxford Blues Boats and will face Cambridge this weekend.
Julietta will row for the women’s crew in seat #4, Louis takes the seat as Cox, and Julian joins the men’s crew as the #2 seat.
Wishing them and the Dark Blues the very best of luck 💙
🦖🦴 Major archaeological discovery at the Radcliffe Observatory 🦖🦴
What began as routine landscaping work on the front lawn has taken a rather unexpected turn…
Earlier this week, contractors uncovered what appear to be dinosaur bones.
Initial (very enthusiastic) assessments suggest the remains could belong to a previously unknown species, tentatively named Green Templetonosaurus.
We’ll share further updates as soon as we know more… 🦖
When the researcher becomes the patient.
In this thought-provoking reflection for The Times Magazine, Research Fellow Karl Smith Byrne shares what tackling cancer has taught him both in his work and in his own life.
Diagnosed with rectal cancer at just 27, Karl brings a rare dual perspective to his field, combining research with lived experience to advocate for greater focus on prevention and more patient-centred science.
A compelling insight into resilience and the future of cancer research.
