@katrionaos Hi, I went to a school that now falls under the Deis umbrella. I also needed to take a second science subject. Maybe she can talk to her career guidance counsellor? There may be available funding from her school to take an external science module at another school?
Well done to @RESC_TU_Dublin@WeAreTUDublin#PhD student Jade Monaghan on a great talk today at the Association for Radiation Research @AssocRadRes 2021 meeting. Jade was also one of the winners of the #ARR2021 online poster competition for Scientists In Training @FocasInstitute
Tonight the FF/FG/Green Govt voted Against @sinnfeinireland motions to cut rents, ban rent increases and to end the tax breaks that enable private investment funds snap up family homes, drive up housing prices and leave home buyers out in the cold. #HousingCrisis
Congratulations to Jade Stephens, Chun Li and Jade Monaghan for winning the ARR 2021 online poster competition for scientists in training! 👏We are looking forward to hearing your presentations at the ARR 2021 meeting in Leeds https://t.co/11UojTZx6q

@ConorHoranDIT These studies indicate that Raman has the potential to translate from research to the clinic and opens up a need to identify how pre-analytical variables will affect the quality of spectral data and from this develop a protocol that will produce accurate/reproducible results.
Good luck with your poster everyone. My poster is about the effects of pre-analytical variables on spectral quality of lymphocytes. I'm happy to answer any questions. #TuDublinGRSPoster#focasinstitue
@ConorHoranDIT Raman spec has demonstrated to be successful in the diagnosis of a number of diseased states through biofluid analysis i.e cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, infectious disease (1/2)
@sbaljit7 An example out of the biological sphere: Raman is capable of differentiating between 3 forms of aspirin; aspirin wrapped in plastic, commercial aspirin and aspirin synthesised in the lab.
@sbaljit7 Hi, Raman spec is a highly selective technique that is able to differentiate between molecules in both chemical and biological species that are similar to one another. Example: Raman can provide genetic subtyping of gliomas.
@BSPhelan Raman spec can determine the vibrational energy of a molecule. Chemical bonds possess a vibrational energy that is specific to them i.e. individual molecules having a biochemical fingerprint. This fingerprint can provide information on structures of molecules, cells, tissues.
@BSPhelan Using Raman spectroscopy for the analysis of biofluids allows for a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that can differentiate between diseased and healthy samples. Giving cancer as an example, this would lead to better prognosis and diagnosis while reducing the need for biopsies.
@RESCDIT Hi, if Raman spectroscopy was to translate into the clinic, a robust protocol needs to be developed, as variability and errors can be introduced in the sample prep and handling stage. Currently, there is no standardised protocol for this type of spectroscopic analysis.
