We’re wrapping up the day with fantastic flash talks from early-career researchers in the Cluster — Caomhan Lyons, Giulia Bonifazio, Clara Sanz, and Daniel McGonigle.
Thank you everyone for coming and making the day so inspiring 🧬👏
#GalwayRNAResearchCluster
And we continued with great talks from Kevin Ryan on using RNA-seq of patient-derived fibroblasts to study CAF heterogeneity, and Karen presenting miRKatDB and miRKatAI, an AI-powered platform for miRNA research.
#GalwayRNAResearchCluster
After a caffeine boost ☕ we kicked off our Data Science in RNA session!
Guest speaker @evacaamano.bsky.social showed how spatial transcriptomics with NanoString GeoMx uncovers key features of adenomyosis — fascinating work!
#GalwayRNAResearchCluster
Now RNA in Diseases session!
Great talks from Sara Melija on ER–mitochondrial contact sites in Rett syndrome, Elan McCarthy on the bioinformatic research of the DLK-DIO3 genomic region in breast cancer, and Kasia Whysall on oximiRs in muscle wasting.
#GalwayRNAResearchCluster
Great talks in our first “RNA in Regeneration” session!
Wonderful insights from guest speaker @varechavala.bsky.social on therapeutic oligos from bench to bedside, and excellent presentations from Manon Jammes,
Bahareh Estiri, and Lara Rguez
Loving the science today! 🧬
