Dr Aoife O'Gorman
Research Project Manager
Dr Xiaofei Yin
Mass Spectroscopist
Dr. Yin is working on a project to set up reliable and reproducible analytical methods for the measurements of metabolites in biological samples based on a mass spectrometry platform.
Dr. Heleena Moni Bottu
Post-doc
Dr. Moni Bottu works on the SusFood2 project ImPrOVe for validation of Pomace bioactive compounds for prophylactic factors and interacting bio markers with metabolic aspects as evidence in cosmetics and improved foods with significance to cell culture systems.
Dr. Janine Wirth
Post-doc
Dr. Wirth's current project examines the impact of different types and times of protein intake on muscle functional parameters, biomarkers of metabolic health, sleep quality and quality of life.
Elaine Hillesheim
PhD student
Elaine Hillesheim's PhD research is aiming to explore the use of metabotypes to deliver personalised nutrition.
Geetha Sundaramoorthy
Research Coordinator
Geetha Priya's research involves conducting metabolomic analysis (NMR, GC-MS, LC-MS) for a number of research projects.
Claire Connolly
PhD student
Claire Connolly's PhD investigates metabolic signatures of Irish grass-fed dairy products, including milk, cheese and butter with Food for Health Ireland.
Rebecca Finlay
PhD student
Rebecca's PhD is on the US-Ireland project that aims to use metabolomics techniques to identify biomarkers of commonly consumed foods. This study involves collaboration between UCD, Queens University Belfast and Harvard School of Public Health.
