Amy Lynch: PhD candidate [2]
Amy joined the Trinity Centre for Bioengineering as a PhD student in July 2012. She received a BSc (Biology) from NUI, Maynooth and an MSc (Regenerative Medicine) from NUI, Galway. Her research will focus on engineering corneal tissue in vitro by culturing stem cells in three-dimensional scaffold.
James Mulhern: MSc candidate
James is working on the development of a novel hydrogel scaffold for cornea regeneration
