Postdoctoral Researcher in the Ocular Therapeutics Research Group at South East Technological University
Just over one week ago and the happiness still hasn't worn off that I have officially graduated with my PhD in nanomaterials for ocular drug delivery 👁️ 🧪 🥼 Years of research, thousands of nanoparticle-filled centrifuge tubes, countless nights of staring at HPLC chromatograms, and more cups of coffee than I’d like to admit, and I have finally made it! I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks thanks to my supervisors, Dr. Laurence Fitzhenry, Dr. Richie Ryan, Dr. Gautam Behl (MSc. PhD), Professor Peter McLoughin, and Professor Mark E. Byrne for their continued guidance and encouragement throughout my PhD research journey. And of course, a huge thank you to my incredible family, fiancé, and incredible group of friends. Your unwavering support, patience, and endless supply of PhD memes were a great source of comfort during the stressful times. Without you all, completing a PhD would not have been attainable. I am incredibly excited for the next phase of my career. My PhD was just the beginning 🥂 Ocular Therapeutics Research Group South East Technological University SETU Research Rowan-Virtua School of Translational Biomedical Engineering & Sciences #PhDone #graduation #nanoparticles #drugdelivery #oculardrugdelivery #researchanddevelopment #academic #research
