鈥屸赌鈥孋areer biography

Following her degree, Sin茅ad completed an MSc degree in 2010 in Neuroscience in Trinity College Dublin. Sin茅ad is currently studying for her PhD at the Biomedical Diagnostics Institute (BDI), Dublin College 深夜亚洲福利久久 and CRANN, Trinity College Dublin. She is developing novel assays to detect changes in blood viscoelasticity, which reflect the body鈥檚 ability to regulate healing and clotting. This research involves working with micro-cantilevers and quartz crystal microbalances (QCMs) to test blood samples. These devices are extremely sensitive and can use very small sample volumes, which can be obtained using a pin-prick method, compared to taking vials of blood from a patient for a test. These devices produce results much faster than conventional methods and therefore reduce the stressful waiting time for patients. The aim is to incorporate these sensors into a point-of-care diagnostic device which will have user-friendly software, allowing patients to carry out these tests at home.

Sin茅ad is passionate about Science communication and has been an exhibitor at BT Young Scientist Exhibition in 2013 and 2014. Sin茅ad has also showcased science experiments for children from the age of 5 years, at the St. Patrick鈥檚 Day Festival, Big Day Out, and the Curiosity Festival, during Science Week. Sin茅ad has also been involved in the 鈥楥ool Jobs鈥 Exhibition and features in a video describing a day in the life of a PhD student In 2013 Sin茅ad also took part in the competition 鈥淚鈥檓 a Scientist get me out of here鈥 and won the Nanotechnology section. The prize was 500 euro for her own Education and Outreach project and she is currently working on putting a workshop together for secondary school students based on her research. Sin茅ad has a Science Blog entitled 鈥淲e can all understand Science鈥

Comments on the Neuroscience Degree 鈥淚 have very fond memories of my time studying for my BSc in Neuroscience. I thoroughly enjoyed all the modules we studied. The Professors and Lecturers teaching all the courses were very friendly and very approachable, which made it very easy to speak to them at all times. During my final year research project, I learned many techniques, which I was taught to carry out using excellent lab practice. The BSc (Hons) in Neurosciene is an excellent programme and I would highly recommend it.鈥
