#AICRIstart are at the #IACR 2025 meeting in Belfast. Come and chat with Abhishek @abhi_NUIG21 and Metin @metinyazar this morning! @News_IACR
Huge thanks for the invitation for seminar at @erasmusuni Gastroenterology & Hepatology Department. I thoroughly enjoyed presenting on Cas9-CRISPR analysis methods and exploring the mechanisms of drug resistance to synthetic lethal therapies in cancer.
#AICRIstart #NSRP
I would also like to thank my supervisor @colmr and @AlCRIproject @hea_irl for their tremendous support.

Day 2 of @UCD_Innovators. Today is all about turning ideas into actionable solutions. 👏
Prototyping is well on the way! #AICRIstart PhD’s and Postdocs exploring hands-on creativity and innovative problem-solving techniques.

Day 1 of the #AICRIstart Innovation Workshop with our brilliant PhD students and postdoctoral fellows with @UCD_Innovators is complete! 💡
It was fantastic to meet in person, share ideas, and kick-start discussions and have some fun along the way!
Using design thinking, the teams are diving deep into creative solutions—watch this space for what’s next!
Onward to Day 2! @hea_irl

we are looking to recruit a PhD student to use systems / integrative approaches to understand the role of paralogs in disease. full details here: cancerdata.ucd.ie/vacancies/

now that the Nobel prize has lent it some legitimacy, we finally decided to give AlphaFold a go

if you're interested in this work, or more generally in systematic approaches to understand how paralogs contribute to cancer / other diseases, we will have a PhD position shortly. mail me for more details

Just kicked off our @whipsmartie communications training focusing on visual, emotional, and logical communication!
We had a lot of laughs with @jonathan_mccrea , insightful questions, and plenty to think about. 🧠 Communicating complex science, like cancer research, is tough but crucial.
What did the #AICRIstart PhDs and postdocs think of today's session? Share your takeaways..
@hea_irl @Education_Ire
Excited for the next sessions!

We are happy to support applications to these schemes, in particular postgraduate (PhD) fellowships. We are interested in genetic interactions in cancer / tumour evolution / paralogs in disease (among other things). Details on our research here: cancerdata.ucd.ie
