The Transition Year Class of 2019
Twenty six students from twenty four different Schools completed the School of Biochemistry and Cell Biology Transition Year programme from the 8th-12th April.
The students conducted a range of experiments throughout the week and developed their team work and presentation skills. The students also attended lectures delivered by Dr Sinéad Kerins on disease detection and Dr Justin McCarthy on how genetic blueprints can be altered.
Dr Kerins would like to thank Noreen Casey, Jenny Duane, Orlagh Fennelly, Trish Fowler and Gavin Kinsley for supervising the students and making the programme such a worthwhile and enjoyable experience for them (link to student testimonials). Dr Kerins would also like to thank Pat Allen for his assistance in setting up the laboratory and Professor Tommie McCarthy for taking the pictures of the students.
