Celebrating our Researchers in our new Spotlight Series!

The College of Medicine and Health prides itself on its greatest resource – our people.
Staff within the CoMH and affiliated healthcare institutions are committed and dedicated, and constantly innovate in both teaching and research.
The partnership among academia, the health and social care service, industry and policy makers is essential to promote, facilitate, translate and implement research advances in a timely manner. Better health and improved treatment outcomes for patients are the rewards for this effort.
Our CoMH Researcher Spotlight Series aims to showcase some of the diverse range of cutting edge research being undertaken by researchers at all career stages, providing an insight into the motivation behind their rewarding careers and highlighting opportunities for network building and further collaboration.
Our series begins with María Rodriguez Aburto, PhD, a Senior Lecturer, Group Leader and ERC-funded Investigator based in UCC's Dept. Anatomy & Neuroscience and APC Microbiome Ireland.
