Congratulations to Pembroke student Utkarsh Amitabh (2022, MSt Practical Ethics) for receiving a UK India Achievers Award last month for excellence in his field. These awards marked India’s 75th independence anniversary and celebrated 75 Indian achievers who are studying/have studied in the UK.

During National Apprenticeship Week in February, we spoke to our two apprentices about their experiences at Pembroke so far. Niamh Ireland, our Apprentice Chef, shares what life is like in the Pembroke kitchens, the exciting opportunities she has as a junior chef, and her hopes for the future.

Congratulations to Tutorial Fellow in Biology Professor Roberto Salguero-Gómez who has received a £1 million grant from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Pushing the Frontiers scheme after having obtained a perfect score in a highly competitive review process.

Jennifer Redmond, Stipendiary Lecturer at Pembroke College, is attending Parliament to present her chemistry research to a range of politicians and a panel of expert judges, as part of STEM for BRITAIN on Monday 6th March.

It is with great sadness that the College reports the recent death of Supernumerary Fellow Professor John Woodhouse. Professor Woodhouse was Fellow of Italian at Pembroke from 1984 to 1989, before moving to Magdalen College as the first Fiat Serena Professor of Italian.

We are excited to share the success of the Pembroke College Biodiversity Project. Set up in 2021 by a team of undergraduate biologists, the project began with two unassuming and overgrown fields near the Pembroke sports ground, which turned out to be hidden gems of biodiversity potential.

Many of our alumni will have fond memories of the JCR Art Fund, with Pembroke being the first Oxbridge college to establish a student-owned art collection. We spoke to current Treasurer of the Art Fund, Georgia Douglas, who told us about the importance of the art collection to the JCR today.

Having recently received their offers to study at Pembroke, our 2023 Undergraduate Offer Holders were invited to College earlier this month for a chance to look around and to meet current students and members of staff.

Last summer, Pembroke student Jan Luboiński (2018, MBiol Biology) took part in a 5-week research internship at the Knowles Lab in Oxford, studying new questions about the formation of the gut microbiome.
