Cannabinoids and Microbes: A Gateway to Understanding Gut Pain

Rebecca Lane (She/her) (PhD Student, Galway Neuroscience Centre and Centre for Pain Research, University of Galway )

Discover how the gut and brain communicate the feeling of pain, how these lines of communication can get damaged in disease, and how scientists investigate these phenomena to develop new pain treatments!

Survival of the most stressed - Finding new ways to cure cancer

Matthieu Moncan (He/him) (Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Galway)

Just like people; human cells can be stressed. While they don't take holidays to let off steam and relax, they have developed strategies to manage stress. But what happens when cancer hijack these strategies to better resist to treatment?

Compression Therapy: A Solution Against Chemotherapy Side Effects

Pascal Paco Farina (He/him) (Research Assistant, University of Galway)

Cancer research focuses on curative solutions that sometimes neglect the side effects, like chemotherapy-induced nerve damage. Compression therapy limits drug delivery to microvessels, mitigating chemotherapy side effects.
