Delighted to have been interviewed about my #ovariancancer and #cannabinoid research as part of #UCDENGAGE 👩‍🔬

Lynda Jordan loving her Brittney spears mic describes how she develops Bioplastics from bacteria.
We can’t live without plastic but her work will give us bioplastics which are better for the environment. Finding the right gene was like finding a needle in a haystack

#UCDEngage series begins with Theresa Ayer’s exciting talk “The Calm before the Storm” preventing epilepsy after brain trauma.
Epilepsy is more than seizures and her work focuses on how to prevent it.

Next, Ma_cy also from our lab presents her cool cartoons showing her work on vaccines for superbug infections. This bug is very resistant to nearly all antibiotics. VxPt is the superhero vaccine that she has discovered to prevent these infections

Next our own Niamh Duggan presents her research on & low oxygen chronic infection in cystic fibrosis. She gets us all engaged @ the start & asks us to take deep breath & than explains how she models low O2 in the lab to compare with patient samples

Next up Ying Ling Dee’s #UCDEngage talk focussing on “ #Nanomedicine , can we build an efficient delivery company?” She starts by clearly demonstrating how small nano is. Lots of us had a nanomedicine already when we got our mRNA vaccines wrapped up in nanoparticles

Last but by no means least Niamh Martin talks “Keeping tabs on Covid” monitoring covid or other outbreaks by testing wastewater. ⬆️ in covid cases fit with covid levels in sewage & sometimes before the cases numbers ⬆️ so they predict outbreaks COVIDPoops19 #UCDEngage UCD SBBS

Extremely high standard of public presentations this evening for #UCDEngage - a hard decision for the judges. Well done to all the young scientists University College Dublin who put such thought and have done such original research with great potential.

A great article to mark #WorldOvarianCancerDay by Barry W. Fitzgerald 🇺🇦 on the research of #PhD student & Winner of #UCDENGAGE Claire Hughes - Undercover Allies: Cannabis Enhances Chemotherapy's Siege on Ovarian Cancer
