We all know that eating too much sugar is not great for your health. But there’s more to sugars than the granules you sprinkle into coffee. Sugar structures, or carbohydrates, play important roles in how bacteria, fungi and viruses interact with our bodies and cause infection. And Professor Stefan Oscarson (pictured left) is looking at ways to harness those interactions in our favour - whether to design new antibiotics or improve vaccines.
Two Postgraduate Interns from École Normale Supérieure Paris
Dr. Grace Morgan (pictured left) of the UCD School of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and Professor Peter Hogan of the UCD School of Physics recently completed hosting and supervising two graduate students, Jérémy Scelle (Inorganic Chemistry) and Florian Bolgar (Theoretical Physics), from the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) Paris on six month internships. ENS Paris is one of the most prestigious institutions in the world for graduate study in Science. It has produced twelve Nobel prizewinners and all eight French winners of the Fields Medal for Mathematics. The competition for entry is very severe and this is reflected in the brilliance of these students.
