Event description

Description

Women in Research Ireland is delighted to be hosting our next seminar on the 23rd of March, entitled "Being Clockwise! Harnessing our body clocks to achieve a successful research career"

Annie Curtis has had a diverse and dynamic career, navigating between academia, the public sector and industry. She started off in TCD before moving to the U.S. where she spent time getting her PhD and working in R&D with GlaxoSmithKline. It was here that her passion for clocks was sparked.

Once back in Ireland, she secured the position of Scientific Programme Manager for Science Foundation Ireland, followed by Medical Advisor for Immunotherapeutics with Bristol-Myers Squibb.

In 2011, she made the rewarding decision to return to research and joined the lab of Professor Luke O’Neill at TCD, where she conducted cutting edge research in the field of circadian immunology.

In 2014, she was awarded an SFI Starting Investigator Research Grant and established a lab group of her own in RCSI, studying the impact of clocks on the immune system.

Last year, she was awarded the prestigious L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science 2017 Fellowship.

At this month's seminar, Annie is going to turn the table on her own research - she will discuss the ups and downs of her career and how you can use the body clock to enhance your chances of research success.

This seminar is an inclusive, QUILTBAG friendly space. This event is free to attend and all are welcome, but we ask that you please register.
