The College community is very shocked and saddened to learn of the death of our alumna Neetu Jain (BSc Biochemistry, 1988) in the Tavistock Square bus bombing on 7 July .

Neetu Jain was an IT manager at TXT4 Marketing in Hoxton Square and lived in Hendon with her parents. She was educated at Hendon School before studying at King's College London and later University College. She was an energetic person, who enjoyed swimming, cycling, squash and badminton.
