Cilia2024 registration & abstract submission now OPEN !!🥳With wide ranging sessions, great speakers, 3 poster sessions, & fun social/networking events, you wont want to miss cilia2024.ie. We also have some travel grants. So, start planning your Sept trip to Dublin !
Thrilled that #cryoEM imaging is coming to @UCD_Conway as a national facility. researchireland.ie/news/minister-… Huge thanks to @Researchirel and @ucddublin for funding this important infrastructure.
Wonderful to see Luxturna gene therapy (RPE65 gene) for sight loss being used in Ireland, and how it can be effective in adults. Great work by @MaterDublin hospital, Prof David Keegan, and wider support from the @fight_blindness charity.
Big shout out to @BusitaliaV for their excellent service from Padova to Marco Polo airport. Fast, regular, and very affordable. So many taking expensive and C02 unfriendly airport taxis from my hotel. Bus goes from across the street !!! Come on people !!!!
Huge well done to the @ClonasleeGAA u14 girls with their Laois C county final win. They have played stellar all summer. What a great team !

O'Reilly hall looking magnificent on this rare bluebird day in the north east. Not very authetic for #Cilia2024 delegates who might want the full Irish experience !!! If you're one, don't worry, rain and Ireland are almost guaranteed.
All go here with @eurocilia2024 organisation. Very excited to have so many #cilia researchers in Dublin next week, presenting 40+ talks, and 230 posters. Online attendee registration still open at cilia2024.ie/registration/.

Absolutely delighted for @KarenL_PhD for her recent @irishreseach @sfi funding success sfi.ie/research-news/…. Amazing to have another (n=2) #Celegans #cilia #ciliopathy research group here in Ireland - and better still, right beside my own group here in @UCD_Conway !
