Delighted to welcome Garry P. Duffy back to RCSI & as new Prof. of Anatomy in RCSI_Anat. Garry brings a wealth of research experience in advanced biomaterials and medical technologies. Exciting times ahead.

Brand new paper from Claudio Intini published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules today on the use of biomimetic reinforced scaffolds in combination with a novel suturing technique for large articular cartilage defects! Read it now: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A new RCSI study is the first to simulate catheter tracking in digital patient anatomies for TAVR. Researchers found high tracking forces linked to areas of tissue stress - insights that could guide safer treatment. Read the paper ➡️ doi.org/10.1016/j.comp… #RCSIdiscover

Three of RCSI’s early career researchers have secured €1.94 million in funding under Research Ireland’s Pathway Programme. The funding aims to support the next generation of independent research leaders in Ireland. Read more ⬇ rcsi.com/dublin/news-an… #RCSIdiscover

Attended an inspirational Women in Academia Workshop this afternoon in RCSI. Really motivational to see the different career paths taken by many of the academic staff in both RCSI RCSI TERG and AMBER.

A big thank you to TERG PI Ciara Murphy for taking part in our Women in Academia Workshop last week to discuss her pathway to a European Research Council grant!

A real treat to have Lorraine Byrne, executive director of AMBER, take part in the Women in Academia Workshop we ran last week as part of an ongoing collaboration for REGENEU! Lorraine spoke about her career path and the far-reaching success of female PIs in AMBER!

Brilliant to have Sorcha O' Meara with us on Thursday to discuss the ups and downs of completing a PhD while undertaking surgical training, as part of the Women in Academia workshop we ran!

Really insightful to have TERG PI Olga Piskareva presenting her experience of translating innovations in the field of bioengineering into cancer treatments as part of our Women in Academia Workshop on Friday!

Brilliant to have Dr. Mairead Holden from AMBER come in to talk to us about the importance of public outreach and engagement in STEM on Friday as part of the Women in Academia Workshop!

Fascinating to hear from Sofia Dembski on her research journey from dentistry to biomaterias as part of the Women in Academia Workshop in TERG last week with REGENEU!

An honour (and nerve-racking) for me to have been asked to present Paula Klavina data (in collaboration with Preston Lab ) on circadian control of clot breakdown and how this relates to the striking morning increase in ischemic stroke at the Gordon Research Conference

Interdisciplinary AMBER research team RCSI & Trinity College Dublin IRFUCharitableTrust develop 3-D printed implant to deliver electrical stimulation to injured areas of spinal cord offering new route to repair nerve damage Advanced Science advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad… 👉ambercentre.ie/amber-research…

An implant developed by RCSI and AMBER researchers has been shown to deliver electrical stimulation to injured areas of the spinal cord. The study, in partnership with IRFUCharitableTrust, offers a potential route for nerve repair. ➡️ rcsi.com/dublin/news-an… #RCSIdiscover

This is a great example of research that would not have occurred without the unique interdisciplinary environment of our AMBER A real team effort between RCSI TERG researchers led by Ian Woods and 2D materials scientists from Valeria Nicolosi

Dr Aamir Hameed won the Vice Chancellor’s Commercialisation Innovation Award at RCSI Research Day. The award recognised his work in founding the RCSI spin-out company Pumpinheart to progress a miniaturised heart pump technology for the treatment of heart failure. #RCSIdiscover

Nice visit to Paris (as ever!) for meeting on our project focussed on regulatory T cells #TRegs & immunomodulatory biomaterials. Our collaborators Makoto Miyara & @FM_Fernandes_ in Sorbonne Université were excellent hosts as ever Thanks to Research Ireland #Ulysses for support.
