Research Experience
2015 (Jan – May) Chemistry project: “Synthesis of pyrazolopyrimidone derivatives”
Chemistry project in organic synthesis under the supervision of Dr. John Stephens, synthesising novel compounds for the possible treatment of type-2 diabetes
“RTC53” is a hit compound discovered in Dr. Stephen's research group. This compound is
active at regulating glucose levels and maybe a possible therapeutic for diabetes. We want to
make new derivatives of this to explore the role of the CF3 in the glucose uptake. Also
determine is CF3 essential for the glucose uptake or could we change it for a different group
in ortho, meta and para positions and see if we still get glucose uptake.
2014 (Sep – Dec) Biology research project: “Molecular & cellular diversity of skeletal muscles”
Researched various groups of muscle fibre types & their metabolic pathways. Compared functions. Identifying & reference professional sources. Composed a 32 page research paper & presented findings to a class of peers.
Previous Employment
2013 (June – Sep) QC Analyst
CN Creative, Grafton Street, Manchester, United Kingdom
Familiar with cGLP, GMP, HAZOP and HAZAN
Testing non medicinal products using waters HPLC and Empower 3 software
Insuring data integrity and recording data validation
Experience working in a grade D GMP clean room and cleaning procedures
2003 - 2008 Soldier (Gunner)
Irish Defence Forces, McKee Barracks, Blackhorse Avenue, Dublin 7, Ireland
During my time with the defence forces I learnt valuable teamwork skills; this helped me to understand group dynamics and how to identify different strengths and weaknesses in a team.
I've also done a 6 month overseas mission to Liberia where I worked with United Nations.
