Great piece by @grain_lab team member Dr. Jennie O’Loughlin featured on @RTEBrainstorm recently examining the role plastics play in today’s world and the importance of developing alternatives in the long run @DCU @DCUFSH
Why we need plastics (and what to do about it): by pivoting away from fossil fuel-based plastic, we can greatly decrease the negative environmental impacts, writes Jennie O Loughlin @DCU @DCUPhysics @grain_lab rte.ie/brainstorm/202…
Good to be at Euromedlab 2025, Brussels, talking about sustainability in laboratories on Tuesday.
Check out the innovative Bioprocess developments by our fourth year BSc in Bioprocessing class. @DCUFSH, @DcuBiotech. linkedin.com/pulse/dcus-fer…
The final week of the @DcuBiotech #DCUfutures fermentation festival draws to a close. The primary fermentation is complete with the kegging process finished. We look forward to the Business pitches next week. @DCUFSH
Day 2 starts for the DCU FUTURES #fermentationfestival here in @biotech, @DCUFSH. The mash process begins with adding the grain. @hegarty_susan
The BP4 class starting their first day of the DCUFUTURES #fermentation festival, a range of innovative beers will be produced including non-alcoholic, colour changing ale and tropical ales! Including technical development and business pitches. @DcuBiotech, @DCUFSH, @hegarty_susan
Tonight on #Heated- turning brewery grains into a plastic with #DCU and @waterforddistillery. We go to Malahide to meet a couple donating their kitchen to @habitatforhumanityireland and the search for Seagrass, will we be lucky? @rteone @hqmulligan @RonanODalaigh

Delighted to announce @HelenaMylise new paper on Digital-Twin development for functional-food production in a bioprocess! This work has been the result of the groups fantastic collaboration with @DairygoldCo_Op, @I_Form_Centre, @celoscher, @DermotBrabazon,sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Well done Helena on a great piece of work!
Had the great pleasure and honour of presenting my work on digital twin development for dairy-based bioprocesses today at the ECCE/ECAB conference in Berlin! 👩🏼🔬 #dcubiotech #ecceecab23 #bioprocess
For all its faults, plastic is cheap, easy to produce and versatile. @grain_lab’s research shows that a compostable bioplastic, made from a more sustainable source, could be an answer to laboratories’ reliance on single-use plastic. Read more here: dcu.ie/blog/2056/alte…
