Congratulations to Jack Murray, a first year PhD student at School of Pharmacy UCC who was awarded the esteemed Jane Grimson Medal of Excellence at this year鈥檚 Irish Research Council Awards.

Jack is one of four top-ranked early-career postgraduate researchers selected by the Irish Research Council for 鈥楳edals of Excellence鈥�. Jack was awarded his medal for his work in the STEM category where he was given high praise for his research which investigates ways of addressing challenges associated with formulating oral drugs, such as poor water solubility. His focus is on the creation of a 鈥榮mart鈥� development pathway - using artificial intelligence to assist formulators in choosing the best ingredients for each poorly water-soluble drug.

Professor Helen Whelton, Head of the College of Medicine and Health UCC, said this was a great achievement and she congratulated Jack on his excellent work.

Twenty-three year old Jack said he is delighted to receive this prestigious award. 鈥淚 am working in this area because of the potential of artificial intelligence to streamline the clinical translation of tomorrow鈥檚 medicines. It will improve the safety of therapies already on the market and reduce the need for expensive experiments鈥�

Jack said he would like to thank Professor Brendan Griffin and Dr. Patrick O鈥橠wyer for their time and help with his project.

Senior Lecturer at UCC and GP Dr. Tony Foley is guest speaker at today鈥檚 鈥楿nderstanding Dementia Together鈥� new IPL workshops. The workshops are hosted by School of Clinical Therapies, Brookfield, UCC and involve students from 11 different disciplines from across the College of Medicine and Health.

Dementia is one of the greatest health and social care challenges of our time. Dr. Foley says we need a structured pro-active model of care rather than reactive care for the many people living with dementia in Ireland and he says dementia needs to be part of a National Structured Chronic Disease Management Programme.

There are 64,000 people living with dementia in Ireland, predicted to increase to 142,000 by 2050.  It is estimated that 25% of all over 65 year olds in hospital in Ireland have dementia or cognitive impairment yet there is no specific dementia training given in clinical practice.

A bright mural will now welcome young patients, families, and staff at Brookfield Health Sciences Complex (BHSC) in 晚上福利在线观看 Cork (UCC) as the University unveiled the large artwork today.

UCC commissioned artist Kevin O鈥橞rien to create the mural inspired by 鈥楢 Bee at UCC鈥�, a book written by JP Quinn, Head of the UCC Visitors' Centre and illustrated by UCC graphic designer Charlie Ruxton.

Unveiling the mural 鈥楢 Bee at Brookfield鈥�, Professor Nicole M眉ller said: 鈥淐ombinations of color, lighting, and texture are key to setting the tone for spaces such as patient waiting rooms. The mural has transformed our reception into a warm, bright and welcoming space for our paediatric clients from HSE and South Infirmary Victoria University Hospital (SIVUH)鈥�.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, toys and children鈥檚 books had to be removed from the clinic reception which left the waiting rooms less welcoming.
