Well done to Uthesh Umapathy presenting some of his research on the potential for wood derived prebiotics at a recent STEM at University of Galway Innovation Day. . Here Galway Glycoscientists are assessing sugars, from birch or beech for potential prebiotics in ruminants. .

5. Thesis in Trees ... Ollscoil na Gaillimhe | University of Galway & Michelle Kilcoyne PhD student Uthesh Umapathy pictured during #Bioeconomyweek in the NBG Ireland, sharing new research on potential health applications of Irish hardwoods for cattle & humans. Funded by Dept of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.

Public engagement ... Some of our researchers recently pictured in the NBG Ireland where they communicated their research on new bioproducts and bioprocesses for Irish wood to the general public, in line with the objectives of a more climate friendly circular bioeconomy.
