Maynooth University’s Faculty of Science & Engineering has launched 25 new ARDÚ Doctoral Scholarships, supporting the next generation of researchers across Data Science and Digital Transformation, Health and Wellbeing, and Sustainability and Climate Change. www.maynoothuniversity.ie/graduate-res...

Huge congratulations to rock 💫 Shauna Kellett from my lab publishing her @ResearchIreland funded MSc(Res) 🎉 showing that #HIF-1α-CD73-adenosine signaling axis is important in the resolution of #EoE associated #epithelial dysfunction www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

It’s a privilege & thrill to watch rockstar 💫 @maynoothuniversity.ie PhD student @shaunakellett.bsky.social present her @researchireland.ie funded MScRes to International Eosinophil Society on CD73/ADO in epithelial dysfunction in Eosinophilic Esophagitis #EoE Fantastic #ECRs conference 🎉 #ProudPI

For World Eosinophilic Esophagitis Day, we’ve curated a list of recent #EoE articles from across the journal portfolio: 🟣 ow.ly/Qjlo50VXmVx 🟣 ow.ly/UrEV50VXmVy 🟣 ow.ly/rkVL50VXmVw 🟣 ow.ly/JibY50VXmVz 🟣 ow.ly/Fr9950VXmVA #EoEDay @amergastroassn.bsky.social

#ProudPI #VivaDone …and from out of the box emerged the most brilliant scientist you’d ever seen, Dr Louise Crowe Beyond thrilled. Very many congratulations Louise. 🎉 Many thanks to Dania Movia and Desmond Tobin for a robust viva Another 💫 from the #AIRRLab Maynooth University & MULonsdale

Congrats Olga Fagan Superstar MD student 💫 Important update on the #RareDisease that is very much a growing problem in Irish adults, Eosinophilic Esophagitis #EoE #allergy Gratitude to collaboration between @MaynoothUni & @stjamesdublin & to @hrbireland for supporting this.

A study in Nature Medicine exposed LLMs to simulated clinical cases with switched sociodemographic features exploring ethnic, social, sexual orientation and gender dimensions and showed differences in recommendations for patient treatment, referral and follow-up based only on these features. 🔒

It was great to be invited by Research Ireland as a panelist for these thought provoking events & to hear such encouragement from minister James Lawless regarding the appetite for collaboration and engagement regarding the future of research & its continued importance in Ireland.

This days purpose is to achieve full & equal access & participation of girls & #WISTEM. I will continue to do my utmost to promote this. In ever challenging times, I especially celebrate those women who lifted me up, pushed me onwards and who continue to my support. Let’s continue to #PayItForward

This is a fantastic opportunity to advance your career with a powerhouse of women in GI Sciences! Sign up today!!

Count down: The 5 top accessed research manuscripts of 2024! #4: AARS1 senses lactate and acts as a lactyl-transferase to promote YAP signaling in gastric cancer https://www.jci.org/articles/view/174587

After we reach advanced age, around 80, the propensity to develop cancer is markedly reduced. A discovery reported at Nature today about aged stem cells and iron insufficiency may help explain this advantage www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Great starter pack for #stemcell biologists. 😊🩵🦋 go.bsky.app/UTW4d7b

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️ So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality? We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary #WomeninSTEM www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 🧵 1/

Delighted to have been recognised in this '25 scientists you need to know about' piece. Honored to be amongst such amazing Irish Scientists 💫 @maynoothuni.bsky.social #IrishResearch

The science version of “what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger”: Scientists with ‘near misses’ early in their careers outperform those with ‘narrow wins’ in the longer run. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New in #ScienceImmunology: Research from @boztugk.bsky.social and team identifies an inborn error of #immunity caused by human LTβR deficiency, resulting in defective stromal cell signaling and impaired humoral immune responses. Read more: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
