Helen saw off Trinity鈥檚 Dr Sharee Basdeo, whose 鈥業rish seaweed for transplant tolerance鈥� looks at using seaweed as a natural, non-toxic treatment for patients who have received an organ transplant. Lisa鈥檚 PhD on the 鈥楽mart鈥� Needle is funded by the Irish Research Council Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship.

The SFI TIDA programme (the Technology Innovation Development Award) aims to realise greater economic impact from state investments in research. The 鈥榩itch-off鈥� competition involved eight TIDA-funded researchers pitching their technology or commercialisation ideas for further development support from SFI. Of the eight finalists 鈥� which included projects relating to oesophageal cancer, pig nutrition and non-invasive urine tests 鈥� seven were women, which SFI鈥檚 director Mark Ferguson was quick to note.

鈥淭here is a challenge to attract women into STEM careers, but last night highlighted that change is in the air and a very positive contribution is increasingly being made by women,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 really hope that they serve as an inspiration for more women to consider a career in STEM.鈥�
