“The IBTS is in a unique position to contribute positively to the scientific community through its research and development strategy”

Role

I am the Chief Medical Scientist of the Virology Laboratory, one of three laboratories that encompass the National Donor Testing Laboratory (NDSL). I am responsible for the provision of the infectious disease serology screening service and delivering a quality Virology service to all its users. A key role of mine is to actively promote and encourage scientific research with the laboratory. 

Research Interests

The Virology Laboratory actively contributes to many different research projects.  Most recently, we published our findings in SARS-CoV-2 Seroepidemiology and we are currently a principal contributor to the National Serosurveillance Programme (NSP), tracking the seroepidemiology of COVID-19 in Ireland. We are actively involved in the area of bloodborne infectious disease screening and contribute to the national epidemiology of bloodborne disease in Ireland.
