Biological Sciences

Currently, I am undertaking my Diploma in Clinical Placement in University Hospital Limerick. I am very excited to be applying the theoretical knowledge I acquired over the last four years to an active laboratory environment. On completion of my Diploma, I will be qualified to practice as a medical scientist.

I’m currently a Teagasc PhD Walsh Scholar in Statistical Genetics, researching the genetics of maternal weaning weight of suckler cows. I enjoyed the many aspects offered by Agri-Biosciences, especially the labs, statistical and genetic elements of the course. I’ve loved my time as an undergraduate, it’s been an incredible experience.

I am currently a Laboratory Analyst at the Malting Company of Ireland, Cork. This role involves carrying out physical and chemical analysis such as moisture, protein and fermentations on both raw materials and finished product. I am really enjoying my time here at MCI and it is a great opportunity to kick start my career in the food industry.

I am currently in the process of setting up a company for a new product for natural skincare. Natural and organic ingredients with sustainable growth and eco-friendly manufacturing and packaging is the vision for the company. Herbal science has proved effective in the processing /chemistry of the product.

This November I graduated from Cork Institute of Technology after four rewarding and enjoyable years. I am looking forward to the next chapter where I am currently completing a MSc in Molecular Cell Biology with Bioinnovation in University College Cork.

I am currently working in Regeneron as a Biotech Production Specialist. I am a part of the downstream processing team and I am primarily involved in carrying out purification processes.

I am currently a final year student from Kanturk, Co. Cork. I have enjoyed the knowledge and practical skills that I have gained throughout the programme. I find the industry visits very beneficial as it gives a greater understanding of how industry functions.
