“As a senior research technician, I am responsible for overseeing the daily operations of the lab, including equipment, lab personnel and supplies. In addition, I am involved in the construction of tissue microarrays and biomarker staining, which provides a robust resource to determine how our proteins of interest correlate with clinicopathological parameters.”

“My research is focused on identifying and analyzing the gene network involved in the development of endocrine resistance. In particular, I am looking at developing new therapeutic targets and biomarkers of response to therapy for ER-positive metastatic breast cancer. I am currently funded by Breast Cancer Ireland.”

“My research focuses on tumour heterogeneity in endocrine-resistant breast cancer. Specifically, I am looking at different cell types and their potential to spread or metastasize to other parts of the body. I am currently funded by Science Foundation Ireland.”

“As senior research technician in the Endocrine Oncology Group, my main duty is to contribute towards the development of both on-going research and new research projects. Some of my responsibilities include managing the daily running of the lab, training and troubleshooting molecular techniques within the group, and project managing the biomedical research aspect for our team.”

“My research is focused on analysing large scale transcriptomic datasets to find aberrant patterns of gene expression driving metastatic breast cancer. Currently, I am applying correlation network analysis to RNA sequencing data from patient-matched primary breast and distant metastatic tumour samples. Funding is provided by Breast Cancer Ireland.”
