RCSI TERG

Read all about how TERG researchers like @iWoodsie are developing 3D-printed implants to help repair spinal cord injuries below!

Cian O'Connor speaking this week at the SMA European Congress about how biomimetic viscoelastic hydrogels promote motor neuron outgrowth and modulate astrocyte behaviour for Spinal Muscular Atrophy regeneration applications! This work is kindly supported by the SMA Foundation.

Wonderful to have Magnus Tägil with us in @RCSI_Irl today to give a seminar entitled 'Balancing Brakes and Accelerators in Bone Healing. The BMP History with a Swedish perspective and the Future Role Of BMPs in Orthopaedic Therapies'!

Congratulations to StAR MD student Lylas Aljohmani on being awarded the 1st prize for her oral presentation at the Irish Hand Surgery Society annual meeting 2026! 🥳

Huge congratulations to Marko Dobricic for winning the Image Prize, and to Juan Carlos Palomeque for being awarded the best early career researcher presentation at the @RCSI_Irl Research Day 2026! 🥳🥳

Hadeel Abu Shaqrah presenting at the RCSI Research Day on her work to date on the development of a zonal composite scaffold for load-bearing and cell-derived regeneration of articular cartilage!

Juan Carlos Palomeque presenting his research entitled 'On-demand and scaffold-based delivery of miRNAs to enhance regenerative outcomes in chronic wound healing' as part of the RCSI Research Day 2026!

Louise Hosty presenting her research on developing a pro-angiogenic hyaluronic acid hydrogel decorated with vascular cell-derived extracellular matrix at RCSI Research Day 2026!

Head of TERG and Deputy Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation in RCSI, @fjobrien, delivers the welcome address for RCSI Research Day 2026!

Our latest @TissueEngDublin @ambercentre paper in Bioactive Materials on a new #bioactive #biomaterial for #woundhealing showing how scaffold-mediated miRNA-155 inhibition promotes regenerative macrophage polarisation to direct chronic wound healing. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

AMBER Researchers from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences develop a novel implant that delivers tiny growth-promoting particles directly to injured nerve cells helping them to regrow after spinal cord injury ambercentre.ie/amber-research… #bioengineering @IRFUCharTrust

Really happy to be part of this work on gene-activated scaffolds for spinal cord injury repair. Great job, Tara, and the rest of the @TissueEngDublin team

Very much a multidisciplinary team effort led by Tara McGuire as part of her @ambercentre & @IRFUCharTrust funded PhD. Thanks to everyone involved particularly our #PPI advisory panel consisting of clinicians & seriously injured players living with spinal cord injury.

Our latest publication in Bioactive Materials showing how scaffold based #genedelivery can be applied to #spinalcord with a PTEN-siRNA activated scaffold promoting axonal regrowth sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Read the RCSI press release here: rcsi.com/dublin/news-an… This study was conducted in collaboration with the AMBER Centre and the IRFU Charitable Trust.

Congratulations to Tara McGuire and all involved on the article 'Development of a PTEN-siRNA activated scaffold to promote axonal regrowth following spinal cord injury' recently published in Bioactive Materials! Read the article here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Delighted to see this paper published from our @ambercentre collaboration with @integra_life which shows how laser treatment of natural polymers can be used to tailor site-specific degradation, controlled vascularization and enhanced tissue repair. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our latest paper is out! Read more about laser patterning of biomaterials that enables to control their degradation and thus improves vascularisation and complex tissue repair (such a nerve discontinuity). Thanks to the amazing researchers at @TissueEngDublin and collaborators

Lovely weekend at @bini_irl conference. Superb plenary talks by Molly Stevens & Haughton Lecturer Michael Walsh. Well done to @TissueEngDublin team for excellent presentations including prize winners Aamena Mejevdiwala, Eavan Pakenham & Joshua Pepper! #BinI2026 #TERGonTour

Congratulations to Aamena Mejevdiwala on being awarded the best early career researcher talk in the Reproduction and Nervous track of Bioengineering in Ireland 2026! 🥳🥳🥳
