So pleased to see work from our lab @MaynoothChem @MaynoothUni featured on the cover of @Chem_CP this month! Congrats to lead authors @LukeBrennanChem and @LokeshKumarKu17! A true example of multidisciplinary research funded by both @IrishResearch and @SSPCentre #squaramides

[Chem @Chem_CP]

Our November cover depicts the ability of squindoles reported by @rob_elmes @MUMycology @philgale @CSHChem to efficiently transport chloride ions through lipid membranes and thereby disrupt ion homeostasis and result in potent anti-microbial activity. https://t.co/4QwQ9PUcdy

Thanks to @SSPCentre for a fantastic Fireside chat @ucddublin.

Researchers @rob_elmes and Hilal Kirpik joined our Head of Research, @SSineadHickey - to discuss the role of #PPI in their #EBresearch. A project we're proud to co-fund with @Researchirel.

Our latest molecular sensing work now in @ChemicalScience - this new lanthanide probe developed by @SamanthaBodman has unrivalled selectivity for ADP in water, with no interference from ATP - opens the door for cellular imaging! @lborouniversity @EPSRC https://t.co/2wEMvMxxMR

Delighted to see Minister @lawlessj at @MaynoothUni, learning about @rob_elmes' team’s innovative research on spray-on, wash-off bandages - highlighting the power of investing in #EBresearch. We co-funded this groundbreaking research with @researchirel.

At our #BetterIreland campaign launch in @MaynoothUni, the NMR Spectrometer showed the power of investing in research. A €550K upgrade from @hea_irl extended its life - fuelling breakthroughs at a fraction of the €1.65M replacement cost https://t.co/hUKV8nSRks
