Irish Cancer Society Translational Summer Studentship
Congratulations to Mark Leahy, BSc (Hons) Medical and Health Sciences, who was awarded an Irish Cancer Society Translational Summer Studentship 2022.
Mark is one of two Irish students selected for the studentship. Under the supervision of Dr Malgorzata Krajewska, School of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, he aims to harness the potential of mRNA delivery for the treatment of breast cancer.
The Translational Summer Studentship offers undergraduate students the opportunity to undertake a translational research project focused on cancer. The BSc Medical and Health Sciences is an interdisciplinary degree taught by staff in the College of Science, Engineering and Food Science and the College of Medicine and Health. Mark will also collaborate on the project with Dr Piotr Kowalski in UCC's School of Pharmacy.
We wish Mark and colleagues the best of luck with their research.
