Amid rising ecological concerns, sea cucumbers are emerging as potent sources of biodegradable biopolymers🌊 Prof Nicholas Dunne and global collaborators explore their therapeutic, sustainable potential in a fascinating review. See: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40412675/

Groundbreaking research at @DCU has been featured on @rtenews! Dr Shirley Coyle & other researchers from @DCU and @ASU are developing wearable sensors to aid stroke rehab, tracking brain & muscle activity outside the clinic. Read: dcu.ie/engineeringand… #WeAreDCU

A study by @DCU’s Dr Conor Boland finds that most wearable bioelectronics research misreports the gauge factor, a key measure of sensor performance. Out of 239 studies reviewed, fewer than 20% reported it correctly. Read here: dcu.ie/engineeringand…

We're delighted to announce the breakthrough projects funded via our collaborative PhD program with @ASUBiodesign. Congrats to @DCU awardees, Dr Paul Buchanan, @Dr_Alex_Eustace & @ShirleyCoyleDCU @DCU_Research @DaireKeogh @njdunne_lab @JohnDoyleDCU

Delighted to be in Davos🇨🇭for #EORS2025. On Wednesday, I'll be presenting updates on our #DTIF funded project in collab with PBC BioMed, looking at the in vitro assessment of a phosphoserine-modified calcium phosphate bioadhesive for use in bone applications. @DCU @DCUBiodesign
