Microfluidic microbial bioreactors: How studying microbes at the microscale can help empower microbiology
Long before the existence of microbes was known, humans were unknowingly harnessing their power through practices such as brewing, bread leavening, or cheesemaking. These processes extended the shelf life of food, enhanced its nutritional value, and significantly contributed to the advancement of industry and civilization.
Sepsis and the killer platelets
Dermot Cox BSc, PG Dip Ed, PhD, Pharmacology Lead from the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences – RCSI University of Medicine & Health Sciences, discusses sepsis and the killer platelets.
Professor Dermot Cox – RCSI University of Medicine & Health Sciences
I have a BSc in pharmacology from University College Dublin and a PhD in immunology from Dublin City University. Initially I led a drug discovery group in Fujisawa pharmaceutical Co, Japan to discover novel anti-platelet agents - GPIIb/IIIa antagonists. Subsequently I worked on understanding the failure of this class...
