Mr. Inesh Sood | Medicine and Dentistry | Best Researcher Award

Research Intern at University of Oxford | United Kingdom

Mr. Inesh Sood is an accomplished medical scholar and emerging researcher from the University of Oxford, whose work bridges medicine, neuroscience, and technological innovation. With a First-Class Honours degree in Medical Sciences and ongoing studies toward the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery, he has consistently demonstrated academic excellence, earning top distinctions and merit-based scholarships. His education has been characterized by a rigorous engagement with clinical sciences, biomedical research, and leadership in academic societies, notably through his service as Vice-President of a prominent medical society at Oxford. Professionally, he has contributed to cutting-edge research projects within the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology, and Musculoskeletal Sciences, where he evaluated the application of artificial intelligence scribes in clinical consultations, exploring how technology can enhance medical efficiency and patient care. In parallel, his work with the Bajo Lorenzana Auditory Neuroscience Group focuses on the optogenetic activation of neuronal pathways, where he developed MATLAB-based analytical tools to assess and classify neuronal activity from live recordings an initiative that demonstrates his technical proficiency and innovative approach to neuroscience research. His findings are being presented at the prestigious Society for Neuroscience (SFN) conference, underscoring his growing recognition within the global scientific community. Earlier, as a visiting scholar at Brown University, he conducted molecular and cell biology research on germline migration using CRISPRCAS9 techniques and single-cell sequencing analysis, contributing to publications in developmental biology. Beyond his laboratory expertise, he has also engaged in healthcare consulting, applying analytical and strategic thinking to support biotech innovation in cancer vaccine development. His diverse skill set spans biomedical research, data analysis, and leadership in academic and collaborative settings. Mr.Inesh Sood’s research interests lie in medical innovation, neuroscience, and the intersection of artificial intelligence with healthcare systems. Through his interdisciplinary experiences, he continues to pursue a vision of advancing scientific discovery and improving patient outcomes by combining evidence-based medicine with cutting-edge technology, reflecting a commitment to excellence, curiosity, and societal impact in the field of medicine and dentistry.
