Research Fellow Jane Hirst awarded title of Associate Professor
Research Fellow Jane Hirst has been awarded the title of Associate Professor at the University of Oxford.
Professor Hirst is a consultant obstetrician and Principal Investigator (PI) who leads a diverse global program of work to improve the lifelong health of mothers and babies, focusing on pregnant women living with diabetes.
She said: ‘I am thrilled to receive this title in recognition of my work to improve pregnancy outcomes for women and babies around the world.’
The overarching aim of Professor Hirst’s research programme is to develop novel solutions to improve pregnancy care delivery, including the integration of non-communicable disease prevention strategies into maternity services and the use of novel digital technologies to strengthen health systems.
She leads the diabetes pregnancy service at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford and in 2017 was appointed a Senior Research Associate at the George Institute for Global 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.
