Senior Research Fellow Professor Catherine Pope has been appointed as an NIHR Senior Investigator for 2021.
She is Professor of Medical Sociology at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences at the University of Oxford, and a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences.
The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) describes Senior Investigators as “among the most prominent and prestigious researchers funded by the NIHR and the most outstanding leaders of patient and people-based research within the NIHR community.”
There have been 31 researchers appointed as Senior Investigators for 2021, in addition to 15 current or previous post holders, who have been given a second term.
Among those reappointed for a second term is fellow Green Templeton Senior Research Fellow Professor Stavros Petrou, Professor of Health Economics at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences.
Professor Pope’s term begins from 1 April 2021.
The title of Emeritus Senior Investigator has been awarded to a further 21 researchers, including Green Templeton Governing Body Fellow Professor Paul Klenerman and Senior Research Fellow Professor Sue Ziebland.
An NIHR Senior Investigator may hold the title for two terms. The status of Emeritus may be bestowed on individuals who have successfully completed two terms as a Senior Investigator.
The college is delighted to welcome a new Oxford PharmaGenesis DPhil Scholarship in Translational Health.

Yesterday our alumni celebrated the 2026 Mid-Autumn Festival in Hong Kong alongside @st_annescollege alumni at the two societies’ first co-organised event.
The group gathered at a Michelin-starred restaurant to mark the joyful occasion, make new connections and enjoy exquisite traditional food together.
It is wonderful to see the two college alumni societies bringing the wider Oxford community together for what Nathaniel Chan (MBA, 2016), co-chair of the Green Templeton College Hong Kong Alumni Society, described as ‘a memorable occasion’.
Plans are already taking shape for a hike and karaoke event in November, following an ‘impressive impromptu a cappella performance by one alumnus’ at the lunch.

🌌 Last weekend, Green Templeton welcomed Nobel Prize-winning astronomer Professor Brian Schmidt for the latest event in our Astronomy for All series.
Professor Schmidt took a packed audience on a journey through more than 13 billion years of cosmic history, from the Big Bang to the distant future of the Universe. He explored what we know about the cosmos, how we know it and some of the biggest mysteries that remain.
The lecture was chaired by Governing Body Fellow Rob Fender, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford, and continued our celebration of Green Templeton’s connections with Oxford Astrophysics.
Our Oceania Alumni Group is on a roll after successful events in Sydney, Brisbane and last night in Perth.
We`re very thankful to the group`s committee for their energy, commitment and hard work in bringing the community together. It’s wonderful to see connections being strengthened, engagement growing, and the alumni community going from strength to strength.
Exciting times ahead!
