I have just started my Ph.D. in the group of Thorri Gunnlaugsson at Trinity College Dublin, having briefly toured the western USA for a while during the summer. The project I have undertaken is concerned with the synthesis, characterisation and evaluation of novel anti-cancer agents. I obtained my primary degree in medicinal chemistry from Trinity College Dublin in 2004. My undergraduate project was carried out at the Institute of Medicinal Chemistry, Madrid. It involved the synthesis of “twin drugs” incorporating μ-opioid and I2-IBS binding functionality. My interests outside of chemistry include travelling, hiking, reading and sadly television. Luckily I live on campus here in Trinity and am the recipient of an IRCSET postgraduate award. |
