  • Dr. Rachel McLoughlin, Dr. Nigel Stevenson and Prof Cliona O’Farrelly and Dr. James Harris, otherwise known as the “Immunewars Team” were recently awarded a bursary by the Royal Dublin Society to develop an interactive “Science Live” lecture. Their demonstration lecture entitled “Immune Wars:Bugs&Beyond” aims to introduce primary school children to the concept of bacteria and how our immune system defends against infection. The Immune Wars Team rolled out their interactive lecture to a total of 86 primary school children in the RDS on November 8th and took their lecture on the road and visiting two primary schools in December.

  • (School of Biochemistry and Immunology's next Public Lecture will be on 12th December 2012 )
    • The fourth lecture in the series titled ‘Hepatitis C virus- deadly, dangerous or docile?’ will be given by Professor Cliona O'Farrelly on Wednesday, 12 December. Professor O’Farrelly will be discussing Hepatitis C (HCV) and will explore how viral infections, in particular HCV, can have many different outcomes in different people. Understanding how and why some people resist viral infection could lead to exciting new therapies and vaccines. Event Details: Time: 6.30pm Venue: Stanley Quek Theatre, Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute, Pearse Street All welcome and admission is free
  • “How can we work together to accelerate the discovery of pioneer medicines for inflammatory diseases” (Prof Chas Bountra Tercentenary Hall, TBSI 7th December 2012 )

    • Prof Chas Bountra is Chief Scientist at the Structural Genomics Consortum and Professor of Translational Medicine at the University of Oxford. His current research is aimed at determining the 3D X ray structures of novel proteins, generating novel small molecule inhibitors, using these to dissect disease networks and hence identifying new targets for drug discovery. The SGC publishes all findings immediately (> one per week), works closely with >100 academic labs across the world and 6 pharmaceutical companies, and shares all reagents and expertise freely.

November 2012

  • As part of its mission to promote the molecular life sciences on the island of Ireland, the Irish Area Section of the Biochemical Society awards a medal for sustained excellence in the field of biochemistry demonstrated by work carried out on the island. The 2012 medal was presented to Prof. Luke O’Neill. (IAS Award)
