Thejaswini Madupuri

I hold a Bachelor of Technology in Chemical Engineering from SRM Institute of Science and Technology, India, where I completed my final-year dissertation in collaboration with IIT Madras, focusing on polymer synthesis. I also completed Master’s degrees in International Business Management and Project Management at Coventry University, graduating with distinction in both and receiving the Phoenix Academic Excellence Scholarship.

Over the past four years, I have worked across clinical research and project management roles within supply chain and healthcare settings. In 2024, I joined the Oxford Vaccine Group in the Department of Paediatrics at the University of Oxford, where I supported the delivery of a range of clinical trials, including Phase I first-in-human studies, experimental medicine trials, and pneumococcal human challenge studies.

In May 2026, I joined the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences at the University of Oxford as a Cancer Theme Project Manager. In this role, I support Cancer Research UK (CRUK)-funded projects focused on improving cancer diagnosis and early detection in primary care. My work involves coordinating multidisciplinary research programmes and collaborating with clinicians, researchers, and healthcare partners to help translate research into meaningful improvements in patient care and health services.

My professional interests include global health, clinical trial operations, and regulatory affairs, particularly in areas where research can lead to tangible improvements in healthcare outcomes and access for communities around the world.
