Shane Kenny was a graduate of Industrial Microbiology at UCD and received a PhD in Microbiology. He was the first employee of Bioplastech a UCD spin out. He was a driver of many of the technological innovations in the company. Sadly Shane passed away in July of 2020. He was a huge presence in our lives and is so greatly missed by us all.

Shane and Lars collaborated on two EU projects with Lars as co-ordinator (P4SB and Mix-Up). Shane knew and respected Lars very much and so it is fitting that Lars should deliver the inaugural lecture.

The lecture will take place on Feb 22nd 2021 at 13:00 IRISH local time (14:00 CET)
