Join us on 15th May at Newtown Inn for a deep dives into different cells and what makes them tick; whether its the immune cells trying to protect you from disease or cancer cells out to evade chemotherapy. Event starts at 7pm!

Fuelling the fight: how metabolism shapes immune responses

Cristhiane Favero de Aguiar (She/her) (MSCA Postdoctoral fellow, Trinity College Dublin)

Just as we need fuel to run, our immune cells also need energy and nutrients to do their job effectively. By studying how these immune cells get their energy and how they use it, we can learn more about how diseases develop and how we might be able to better treat them.

The past, present and future of cancer and its treatment

Stephen Maher (He/him) (Associate Professor, Trinity College Dublin & St James's Hospital)

We will explore the history of cancer from its first description by the ancient Egyptians, through to medieval treatments and key advancements over the past 150 years, right up to modern day personalised medicine and our quest for the cure.

A little bit of what you like! How dietary diversity can improve agricultural sustainability

Tommy Boland (He/him) (Prof of Animal Science, University College Dublin)

Cattle and sheep are a key part of Irish Agriculture, but their production is faced with many challenges. Adding plant diversity to their diet can deliver environmental, economic and societal benefits for Ireland.
