Naveed Akbar
Oxford Lead Co-ordinator
I am a British Heart Foundation Intermediate Basic Science Fellow in Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Oxford. I have co-ordinated Oxford Pint of Science for over 9 years and wish to expand the platform to enable more scientists to share their work.
Claudio Cortes
Team Leader - Our Body and Oxford Co-lead
I’m a postdoc studying developmental biology in the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics, tackling my first UK Pint of Science! Can’t wait to get a dose of cool science, or chat about climbing, cooking, or hiking. Hope to see you there!
Lucy Garner
Team Leader - Tech Me Out
I am a postdoctoral scientist at the University of Oxford investigating the role of unconventional T cells in human immunity, particularly in viral infections. This is my seventh year with Oxford PoS and I can’t wait to share more exciting science with you!
Matt Baxter
Team Leader - Beautiful Mind
I'm a postdoc researching how the 3-dimensional structure of DNA regulates genes. I'm also interested in immunity, circadian rhythms, and cardiovascular medicine. This is my first year with Oxford PoS and I'm excited to learn lots of new things!
Emma Haberman
Event Manager - Planet Earth
I’m a third year PhD student at the University of Oxford, researching the neuroimmune mechanisms underlying obesity. I love that Pint of Science hosts such a range of interesting talks – I actually discovered my research topic and PhD supervisor through Oxford Pint of Science in 2019!
Lisa Leinhos
Event Manager - Beautiful Mind
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, and my work focuses on investigating and modelling genetic mutations that lead to cardiac diseases.
This is my 3rd year organising POS and I’ m excited to connect with a wide range of scientists and make science fun and ac…

I am a second year PhD student at Oxford, my research focuses on developing new strategies to deliver gene therapy vectors, using biological nanoparticles called extracellular vesicles. This is my first year at Pint of Science, I’m looking forward to learning new things, and sharing interesting rese…
Susanna Cooper
Event Manager - Our Body
I’m a postdoc at the Institute of Developmental and Regenerative Medicine researching how the immune response can be modulated to improve healing after a heart attack. This is my first year helping with PoS and am looking forward to some great talks!
Dafni Gyftaki
Event Manager - Our Body
I am a Research Fellow working on how the environment surrounding our cells affects fibrosis. This is my first time helping organise Pint of Science. Excited to promote science topics to the wider public and discover more about cutting-edge research!
Catheryn Lim
Event Manager - Our Body
I am a senior postdoc at the University of Oxford, working on developing genetic therapies for neuromuscular diseases. This is my first Pint of Science event - looking forward to meeting science enthusiasts in the pub!
Gintare Smagurauskaite
Event Manager - Our Body
I’m a postdoc at the University of Oxford, working on anti-inflammatory drug discovery and design. This is my first year participating in the PoS events, so I look forward to working with Oxford team, and to organising an exciting festival this year!
Ambra Speciale
Event Manager - Beautiful Mind
Hi! I am Ambra and I am DPhil student in Paediatrics at Oxford University. I love neuroscience and science communications activities. When I heard about Pint of Science I thought ‘seriously, what’s better than a good beer and some amazing science?
Siska (Fransiska Pudjohartono)
Event Manager - Tech Me Out
I am a research assistant at the University of Oxford, working on the mechanisms affecting vaccine responses, mainly using in vitro models. This is my first year helping organise PoS events, looking forward to stimulating talks and discussions!
Daisy Shearer
Event Manager - Beautiful-mind
I’m the Outreach and Engagement Officer at the National Quantum Computing Centre and a part-time PhD student in condensed matter physics at the University of Surrey. I’m fascinated by all things quantum. This is my first time being involved with PoS so I’m really excited to get involved!
Dora Markati
Event Manager
I’m a medical doctor and currently a DPhil student at Oxford University working on treatments for rare diseases. I am excited to be part of PoS! I believe in the importance of making science accessible to the public and why not… over a pint of beer?
