This event will provide our scientists with the opportunity to present their most recent research and emphasises the importance of innovation and discovery. Speakers will include Luke O’Neill, Ursula Fearon, Danny Kelly, Lorraine O’Driscoll, and Isabel Rozas in addition to postdocs from all Schools. Our technical staff will also present on the core equipment and facilities within the Institute including our NMR, XRD, flow cytometry and imaging capabilities. TBSI is committed to nurturing and developing talent and to end the day we are hosting the first TBSI early career researcher science speed dating event where we invite our young researchers to pitch a research idea or problem to their peers and develop cross discipline projects. Grant application information and judging criteria will be available to those who register. Applications will be reviewed and prizes awarded by the TBSI Executive Committee. ."
