Stephanie Gilmore

I completed a BSc in Pharmacology in 2021 at the National University of Ireland Galway. I then completed a MSc in Cancer Research at the National University of Ireland Galway in 2022. My project focussed on novel ways to enhance natural killer cell cytotoxicity in Multiple Myeloma.

I began an Irish Research Council funded PhD in Dr. Ní Chonghaile’s research group in October 2022. My project focuses on the role of aging on metabolism in Multiple Myeloma. By using state of the art technologies such as SCIENTH and seahorse analysis I will investigate metabolic differences in the tumour and in the tumour microenvironment. 

Through this research I hope to identify personalised targeted therapies that could have broad implications for cancer and lead to enhanced survival and improve quality of life for patients.
