External Collaborators:

Professor Marlene Rose (Imperial College London)

Dr David Cotter, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.

I have extensive existing collaborations with other investigators at other institutions in Ireland, the UK and Worldwide. I am internationally recognised as an expert in the application of proteomic technologies in the area of biomedicine. I therefore have ready access to groups working in various relevant areas worldwide.
