My name is Christina and I am a fourth year PhD student from Kildare. I graduated from Trinity College Dublin in 2018 with a BA in Molecular Medicine. Following my undergraduate degree, I worked as a research assistant before beginning my PhD in 2020 in Trinity St. James’s Cancer Institute. Here I work with Dr. Niamh Lynam-Lennon and Prof. Jacintha O’Sullivan in the Department of Surgery to investigate the role of microRNA in the treatment response of oesophageal and gastric cancer.

My name is Faye, and I am a second year PhD student from County Laois. I completed a B.A. (Mod) in Physiology and M.Sc. in Immunology in Trinity College Dublin. After completing my master’s degree, I started my PhD in the Trinity Centre for Health Sciences on the St. James’s Hospital campus. I work in the area of gynaecological oncology, focusing on the clinical utility of liquid biopsies in ovarian cancers.

My name is Niamh and I am a second year PhD student at RCSI. I graduated from TUD in 2021 with a BSc in Pharmaceutical Healthcare. Following this I worked as a research assistant developing my skills in the laboratory with Dr. Sinead Toomey. In late 2022 I began my PhD in cancer research, supervised by Prof. Ann Hopkins and Prof. Siobhan Glavey. My project focuses on designing and testing new drugs for potential use in Multiple Myeloma (MM). MM is an incurable blood cancer which is unfamiliar to most people. Accordingly, one aspect of this project that I am most passionate about is spreading MM awareness in our community. To achieve this goal, our group and a patient panel co-created a lay-friendly MM booklet for distribution to hospitals and GP surgeries across the country.
