Farewell Endeavour Fellowship Holders
Claire Harley and Gillian Hendy arrived at the Intelligent Polymer Research Institute (IPRI) in late March after both PhD students were awarded a European Endeavour Scholarship to fund a research trip to Australia for four months. Both students are completing their PhD studies at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth.
Claire is working on the formation of a sensor for the selective detection of dopamine and Gillian is working on a drug delivery system for the release of dopamine and other pharmaceutically important compounds.
For the past four months at IPRI the Endeavour Fellows have worked under the supervision of Dr Dan Li and Dr Simon Moulton and have introduced the use of nanotechnology into their projects. This was achieved by forming nanofibres using electrospinning of biodegradable polymers. These approaches provide a new and exciting dimension to their studies to be completed in Ireland.
(L to R): Gillian Hendy, Dr Dan Li, Dr Simon Moulton and Claire Harley.
