The college is sorry to announce that Nina Hallowell, much loved Fellow of Reuben College, sadly passed away on 28 June 2023.
Nina loved being part of Reuben and was a wonderful mentor to students and Fellows. We will greatly miss her.
Nina Hallowell was Professor of Social and Ethical Aspects of Genomics in the Ethox Centre and the Wellcome Centre for Ethics & Humanities in NDPH, and group leader in the Big Data Institute.
She was involved in research on the socio-ethical aspects of the use of genomics in healthcare for twenty-five years and had been looking at the implementation of AI and big data systems in the clinic since she returned to Oxford in 2016. She also co-directed the EPSRC CDT in Health Data Science, which is based within the Big Data Institute.
Nina came from an interdisciplinary background, holding degrees in three disciplines, and loved the cut and thrust of interdisciplinary debate about big issues.
