  • Oct 2013 - Aug 2014

  Independent researcher in the Clinical Sciences Institute, University Hospital Galway. Area of research: immunological responses caused by inflammatory bowel disease This research position required: Planning schedules of work to deadlines, optimisation of protocols and reagents, developing research projects through experimentation such as immunohistochemistry and gene expression assays, co-operating and liaising with lab technicians and department staff, using a variety of computer software to graphically depict data/ results and for microscopic imaging, quantifying and analysing results interpreting them from scientific literature and presenting those findings in team meetings.

• Biomedical research associate

  • Apr 2010 - Aug 2010

  Research assistant under the supervision of Professor Keith Betteridge, Dept. of Biomedical Sciences, University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada. The research was conducted with an interest in: Signalling by embryonic steroid hormones, establishment and loss of early pregnancy in the mare. Work outside of the lab required a “hands on” approach and previous experience in equine handling was valuable. I preformed ultrasonographic examinations, intramuscular injections, seminal fluid collection from a stallion, artificial insemination, jugular blood draw and conceptus recovery. Within the lab environment I devised a storage system for biopsies, carried out dissections and somite quantifications, microarray preparation of endometrial biopsies and liaised between collaborating labs.

  Research assistant at the Centre for Chromosome Biology (CCB) under the supervision of Dr. Andrew Flaus and Dr. Stephen Holger. This research position involved the scale-up of core histone protein expressing bacterium in culture medium, maintaining a product yield at high cell densities, acid extraction of histones from cells or nuclei, purification by high performance liquid chromatography and storage via freeze drying.
