Post by The Queen's College, Oxford

The College warmly congratulates fourth-year Medical student Danny McAlea, who has been awarded both the British Pharmacological Society's Clinical Undergraduate Prize for Intercalated Research Project and the University’s Wronker Grant for excellent performance in the Honour School of Medical Sciences. Danny’s research in the Radcliffe Department of Cardiovascular Medicine investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying atrial fibrillation, focusing on the role of calcitonin receptors in reducing cardiac fibrosis. His work contributes to a deeper understanding of this common and serious heart condition. Reflecting on his time at Queen’s so far, Danny shared: “I can think of no better place to have spent the last few years and wouldn’t change it for the world.” 🔗 Read more about Danny’s research and reflections on studying Medicine at Oxford: https://ow.ly/8cSE50Xto7y #MedicalResearch #StudentAchievement #CardiovascularMedicine #AtrialFibrillation #OxfordMedicine #UndergraduateResearch #MedicalSciences #AcademicExcellence
