Sixth DAPI Symposium
The 6th annual DAPI symposium was held on Friday 15th Jan 2016 in the Dept Microbiology, Trinity College Dublin and was attended by 75 TCD and UCD staff and students.
 |
The
keynote talk, sponsored by the Microbiology
Society, was given by Dr. Suzan Rooijakkers from the
University
Medical Center Utrecht, The Netherlands. Suzan delivered a
fascinating seminar about the
molecular basis of the interaction between
bacteria and the human immune system. She described her
research
on how complement kills bacteria and the various
strategies that
bacteria have evolved to resistant complement. |

Ten
talks were delivered by PhD students and postdocs, and 28
participants who presented posters of their findings.
This offered an important opportunity for early stage
researchers
to gain experience of communicating the results of their
research. The
prize
for best postgraduate speaker was awarded to Leanne
Hays, (TCD) and the prize for the best poster presentation
was awarded to
Siobhan Turner (UCD).
