After a long absence from Twitter I am delighted to restart by congratulating Daniela and Smiljana to their (PhD) graduation yesterday. Well done! RCSI_Chemistry NanoCarb Sally Ann

Congratulations to Dr Eva Clemente for successfully defending her PhD in RCSI_Chemistry. Special thanks to Prof Volk & Prof Devocelle for reviewing the thesis, to NanoCarb for the amazing journey, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions for funding and RCSI PG Research for the support.

We are looking for a postdoc in polymer chemistry/physics with expertise in polymer networks. This project is co-sponsored by Henkel and a fantastic opportunity to gain experience in an academic-industry partnership project. Please apply here: tinyurl.com/2cwj6ky6

Delighted to announce this EXCITING new project in collaboration with Eadaoin Carthy & DCU Biodesign Europe to develop novel filters to remove PFAS from Irish water supplies! Follow PolyFASt Solutions for updates. Thanks to @scienceirel & EU Commission in Ireland for the opportunity! #PFAS #remediation

Huge credits to first author Smiljana and collaborators Katie, Sarinj Fattah, Ruairí Brannigan, and Sally Ann for this interdisciplinary piece of work. RCSI_Chemistry, RCSI School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences.

Last week my university @UGent approved non-competitive research financing for all professors. The idea is that each professor (all ranks) would receive a yearly amount of research funding of ca. 30.000 euro (so two professors can jointly hire one PhD student). 1/2

Congratulations to AMBER PI Professor Andreas Heise Heise Group receiving €2.9m in funding from the European Innovation Council’s (EIC) Pathfinder programme to develop new materials and technologies for medical applications. #bioprinting #materialsscience

Absolutely thrilled to be awarded European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant #ERCCoG to develop regenerative treatment for osteoporotic vertebral fractures. Massive thank you to my ever supportive research team, collaborators, mentors RCSI TERG AMBER RCSI RCSI Research and Innovation

Check out our latest paper just published in ACS Sustainable Journals! In this work, led by Viviane Chiaradia, we developed a library of sustainably sourced photopolymer materials with tuneable thermomechanical properties for use in 3D printing 🍃 doi.org/10.1021/acssus…

Watch the first of the four latest Ardán/ CÚRAM Science on Screen Animations - ‘Nature Inspired Adhesion’ - by Mighty Grays Studio! “It's beautifully made - it tells the story really well. It's not just the concept, you get a sense of the methodology as well." Prof. Gerard Wall.

Delighted to finally publish this. We use L-proline, a key component of natural collagen, to create thermoresponsive polymers that can be 3D printed into shape morphing hydrogels using digital light processing. Heise Group RCSI_Chemistry Wiley in research onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sm…
