Dr Eva Malone secured funding along with Dr Richard Firth (SACI) and Dr Carol Gray-Brunton (SHSC) along with colleagues from Maynooth University to work on the project HPV Education powered by STEAM: Exploring peer-to-peer creative critical engagement.
The project is funded by Science Foundation Ireland and the ENU share comes to us via Maynooth University. The team is an interdisciplinary, intersectoral international group working with the Irish Cancer Society. In March they travelled to Ireland to work with young people (aged 15 years old) from 5 secondary schools across Kildare and Offaly to support the creation of short films advocating HPV vaccination. The young people will use the films to support presentations they will deliver to final year primary school children later this academic year.
Dr. Giacomo Russo was awarded a summer studentship by the Chromatographic Society and the British Mass Spectrometry Society. The project will be co-supervised by Amy Dillon and will provide support for a research project this summer for up to 8 weeks. Giacomo also worked in partnership with Prof Lucia Grumetto from the Dept of Pharmacy in the Unviersity of Naples Frederico II, Italy to secure Erasmus+ mobility funds to host Mrs Ilaria Neri, PhD candidate, at SAS for ten days from 15th to 25th May 2023 for training/job shadowing purposes.
