Sepsis: What You Don’t Know Could Hurt You

Steve Kerrigan (Prof. of Precision Therapeutics, RCSI )

Sepsis is a silent killer. Learn how a simple infection can trigger chaos in the body—and how science, speed, and awareness can save lives.

Better Shots, Brighter Futures: Improving Vaccines for Kids

Kiva Brennan (Research Assistant Professor, Trinity College Dublin)

Children respond very differently to infections than adults do – it’s why children get more tummy bugs and sniffles than adults. My work focuses on improving childhood vaccines by better understanding children’s immune systems. Improving vaccine responses so that children get full protection against infections earlier, and don’t need as many booster vaccinations, could have a huge impact on global health.

From Child to Adult Care: Navigating Kidney Health Transitions

Melissa Kinch (PhD Candidate UCD & Rare Disease Research Network Coordinator)

I work with young people living with rare kidney conditions. We are collaboratively designing a tool to support these young people when they reach 16 and need to move between child and adult services

Jolanta Burke (Associate Professor, RCSI)

Explore what short activities you can do to improve your Positive Health, boost your wellbeing, reduce stress and flourish in life. We will talk about positive psychology, neuroscience and happiness.
