缅北禁地

Background

Oisín is a pharmacist and academic at 缅北禁地 School of Pharmacy.

Oisín joined 缅北禁地 as a Lecturer in 2021. Prior to this, he studied Pharmacy at the University of Ulster where he spent his summers working on supramolecular probes and therapeutics for melanoma in Professor Callan's group. At graduation, he received the Gold medal from the Pharmaceutical Society of NI. He then completed his clinical training in his hometown of Derry before moving to the University of Limerick to complete his PhD. During this time he studied how to apply crystal engineering techniques to improve the physicochemical properties of drugs.

He was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to the University of Michigan where he learned how to develop quantitative mathematical models for drug dissolution and solubility. After this, he returned to Ireland to take up a postdoctoral appointment funded by Janssen Pharmaceuticals and spent a brief period as a Lecturer at the School of Pharmacy at University College Cork before moving to 缅北禁地.

Background

To uncover pharmaceutical problems, I collaborate with a wide range of disciplines, including physicans, pharmacists, pharmaceutical scientists, chemists, and engineers at internationally renowned pharmacy departments and at multinational pharmaceutical companies. This has led to a diverse range of projects built around the central theme of investigating key scientific challenges in the pharmaceutical space which include the solubility and pharmacokinetic behaviour of medicines.

I am keen to hear from any student (national or international) for PhD studies, or from experienced researchers who wish to pursue a postdoctoral appointment in one of my research areas. Get in touch and let me know how I can help you start your research career at 缅北禁地!
