So pleased to see work from our lab @MaynoothChem @MaynoothUni featured on the cover of @Chem_CP this month! Congrats to lead authors @LukeBrennanChem and @LokeshKumarKu17! A true example of multidisciplinary research funded by both @IrishResearch and @SSPCentre #squaramides
Our November cover depicts the ability of squindoles reported by @rob_elmes @MUMycology @philgale @CSHChem to efficiently transport chloride ions through lipid membranes and thereby disrupt ion homeostasis and result in potent anti-microbial activity. hubs.li/Q028NY320

Thanks to @SSPCentre for a fantastic Fireside chat @ucddublin.
Researchers @rob_elmes and Hilal Kirpik joined our Head of Research, @SSineadHickey - to discuss the role of #PPI in their #EBresearch. A project we're proud to co-fund with @Researchirel.

At our #BetterIreland campaign launch in @MaynoothUni, the NMR Spectrometer showed the power of investing in research. A €550K upgrade from @hea_irl extended its life - fuelling breakthroughs at a fraction of the €1.65M replacement cost bit.ly/4iWMr0M
