As always University College Cork was well represented on the day with many great presentatiosn and submissions from students. 

The first presentation on the day was from Rasha Alshaikh , University College Cork. She presented her work titled ” Sphingosine 1-phosphate, a potential target in neovascular retinal disease.” Rasha gave a fantastic presentation on her work, as a result of this Rasha won a prize for the best oral presentation on the day.
