It’s a great day for our school ⁦@DCUChemistry⁩: 8 PhD graduated this afternoon (unfortunately I couldn’t get them all for the group photo). Massive Congratulation to all and my very best wishes for a bright future ahead! 👏🧪🥼

#ScienceWeek @DCU Science Week returns from the 12-19 November, hosted by @DCUFSH and supported by @scienceirel - dcu.ie/science-week - @DCUAccess @DCUinCommunity @DCU_IoE @CTYI @DCUPhysics @DCUChemistry @DCUMaths @dcu_shhp @DCUPsychology @DCUSNPCH @DcuBiotech

This week we ended our Guest Lectures series within our 4th year course "Advanced Analytical Applications". Our undergrads enjoyed hearing about pollen, skin, breast cancer & epilepsy applications @DCUChemistry. Thanks to our fantastic guest speakers! 👏👏

The @DCU Future's initiative supports the Chemistry with AI BSc: dcu.ie/courses/underg…. AI is changing how research is done and chemists will benefit hugely by gaining skills in this area. @siliconrepublic provide a great overview of the impact of AI in pharma below.👇

We have a PhD position available in our group in collaboration with Pfizer. Initial deadline October 20th. Start date September 2024. Please contact me if interested. More details here: joannamcgouran.wixsite.com/mysite/join
