Researcher, PRR and Inflammation Group, CiiiD
I WAS BORN IN
Dublin,
Ireland
BEFORE HUDSON
I WAS DOING
Much of the
same but on the other side of the world. I was doing research at Trinity College
Dublin on innate immune signalling and inflammation.
THE BEST PART OF MY JOB IS
I get to do
something I really love every day.
I CHOSE THIS CAREER PATH BECAUSE
The immune
system is fascinating and plays a role in any disease you can think of... I also
get to travel.
MY FIRST JOB WAS
Working in our
family business at home in Ireland and ‘Dunnes Stores’, the Irish equivalent to Target.
My first Science job was as an RA in the University of Pennsylvania looking at
mechanisms regulating prostanoid receptors.
MY FAVOURITE
MOVIE/TV IS
Too many to
choose from
I AM WORKING ON
The role of
immune signalling components during bacteraemia and influenza infection.
THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY YEAR SO FAR
The Port Fairy
Folk Festival.
I AM LOOKING FORWARD
Seeing my
family at Christmas... and going to the Antarctic one day.
MY FAVOURITE PLACE IN THE WORLD
The Perito
Moreno Glacier and Mount Fitzroy in Argentina… and the walk out to Poolbeg
lighthouse at home in Dublin.
OUTSIDE OF WORK I ENJOY
Socialising with friends, music, hiking, wineries and trips out of the
city.
MY FAVOURITE PLACE TO EAT
Jalissco
Mexican Restaurant in Windsor: Best Nachos EVER! Thinking I should start a blog.
