🤔 Why do people talk about brain tumours 🦠🧠 so often but rarely say that they have developed an #epilepsy?! 30% of people with or who have had a #braintumour also develop an #epilepsy!! 😱🤯 1/ 🎧📹 Podcast, video, transcription torierobinson.com/epilepsy-spark… #braintumor Mark Cunningham

Very excited for Pint of Science on 14th May in Dundalk! Come along and hear about my work in the Cunningham Lab TCDPhysiology #braintumourrelatedepilepsy

Very excited to speak with some other brilliant researchers this evening! Pint of Science IE TCDPhysiology #braintumour #EpilepsyAwareness

Brilliant opportunity to speak about my refined protocols for in vivo wireless telemetry using scruffguards at the Institute of Animal Technology meeting in Dublin this week Datesand Ltd TCDPhysiology #3Rs #braintumour #epilepsy

Dr Kate Connor and I had a blast interacting with 5th class students of Central Model School. We explored the brain, neurons and EEG. Great questions from pupils and future neuroscientists in the making TCDPhysiology School of Medicine, Trinity College Dublin Trinity College Dublin FutureNeuro Centre

Thanks to Breakthrough Cancer Research for supporting Nazia Rafiq (4th School of Medicine, Trinity College Dublin student) to undertake her summer studentship working on brain tumour related epilepsy supervised by Dr Kate Connor in TCDPhysiology TCD TBSI TTMI - Trinity Translational Medicine Institute

🏅 Applications for the annual Ronnie Fehily Medal competition are now open! 📋 Full details of the award including the closing date (4th October) and how to submit can be obtained here: forms.office.com/pages/response… #braintumourresearch #neurotwitter

🤩 We're having a great time at Start Talking About Research Today #EuropeanResearchersNight at RCSI! Lots of exciting chats about the research at FutureNeuro, plus fun hands-on activities—from DNA extractions to mini-EEG demos exploring visitors' brain waves. Thank you to everyone who stopped by!

Brought ⁦Richard Hjelseth⁩ to #europeanresearchersnight ⁦RCSI⁩ and rcsi_sim. Thanks to all super ⁦⁦FutureNeuro Centre⁩ presenters esp ⁦Dr Kate Connor⁩ who found strong brain activity. Phew 😉

📢 The deadline for submissions has now been extended to 11th October!

As part of #BrainAwarenessWeek2025, our researcher Mark Cunningham and his team at Trinity College Dublin will be at Sacred Heart Grammar School in Newry on March 12, inspiring students to explore the brain through a hands-on workshop!🧠🔬 Dr Kate Connor Neurological Alliance of Ireland Research Ireland

We are hiring! 🗣️ If you are interested in joining our team as a research assistant to work on novel treatment strategies for Brain tumour related epilespy - get in touch! 🧠 Mark Cunningham Trinity College Dublin TCDPhysiology

So excited to be joining this wonderful Department! 🧠

For #worldcancerday and #womeninscience last month, we interviewed @katecscience from Trinity College Dublin In the interview, Dr. Connor describes her cancer model development research with the use of ex vivo brain slices for model validation. See the video here: ow.ly/VmNt50VaS81

Community outreach and education is an important part of what we do - Head of Dept Mark Cunningham and Asst Prof. Dr Kate Connor hosted this fantastic secondary school neuroscience and neurophysiology event for Brain Awareness Week! 🧠🧠🧠

Bravo Dr Kate Connor for getting the TCDPhysiology work in progress talks seriesunderway with our colleagues in AnatomyTCD. A monthly forum where researchers and postgraduate students can present their ideas/work School of Medicine, Trinity College Dublin

Great to be celebrating the #2025DayofImmunology in TCDPhysiology and using electrophysiology to understand what drives #braintumourrelatedepilepsy 🧠🔬

Another very successful Work in Progress (WIP) seminar. We had two fascinating talks from some talented students 🧠🔬 TCDPhysiology School of Medicine, Trinity College Dublin #earlycareerresearchers #workinprogress #epilepsyresearch #CancerResearch

Really looking forward to this meeting and talking about all things #neuro-oncology
