@chris_torrens Great to catch up with you @chris_torrens & thanks for examining our PhD candidate!

I find myself In Dundalk. Should probably say hello to @SMRC_Lab

A fantastic opportunity…

Delighted to chat today with colleagues old & new at the @WWIEM_QUB in @QUBelfast about some of our @Researchirel funded work at the @SMRC_Lab in @DkIT_ie

Already so many highlights from #IUPS2025 in Frankfurt! From fascinating talks on virtual labs and the clinical application of AI, to connecting with colleagues across the exhibition floor, it’s inspiring to engage with the global physiology community.

A large contingent from @smrc_lab looking forward to all things physiological @TheIUPS in Frankfurt this week. Enjoy it folks!

You don't want to miss this outstanding opportunity to publish your best work on ion channels in the @JGenPhysiol rupress.org/JGP/pages/call…

A huge thank you to Professor Hikaru Hashitani from Nagoya City University for delivering a fantastic research seminar to staff & students @SMRC_Lab in @DkIT_ie 👏👏👏

whereas the intracellular tail of LINGO1 appears to be the main candidate for the shift in to the voltage of half maximal activation. 2/2

Great to see this @ResearchIre funded work published in @jbiolchem this week. jbc.org/article/S0021-… Our collaborative study with Mike Shipston’s lab @EdinburghUni demonstrated that the extracellular domain of LINGO1 downregulates BK plasmalemmal expression, 1/2

Many thanks to @HAT_Pritchard from @OfficialUoM for giving a fantastic Research Seminar at the @SMRC_Lab today.

Many thanks to @RoseEDixon1, @JonSilva_Stl & @FASEBorg for organising a wonderful Ion Channel SRC. A week of cutting edge science, engaging, respectful, discussion & real collegiality. Great to see the next generation of channel scientists coming through. Super job #ICRSRC 👏👏👏

Looking forward to speaking the lingo @FASEBorg ion channel meeting in Southbridge, MA, USA & showing data from one of the projects @SMRC_Lab in @DkIT_ie #ICRSRC

A massive thank you to @OsamaHarraz from @uvmcmb at the University of Vermont, USA, for a wonderful seminar on his research today.

Many thanks to Prof Adam Rich from @U_SUNYBrockport for a superb seminar on Zebrafish. It was great to host you in our labs this week.

Great to publish a review of some recent work from @SMRC_Lab on the role of M2Rs in the airways. Always good to challenge the dogma! 👀👀👉🏼 mdpi.com/1422-0067/26/1…
