This has been a very busy period as we finalised
examining this year’s BSc (Biochemistry) graduating
class and also graduated one of the largest cohorts
of PhDs when 12 students graduated recently in the
Summer conferrings. The latter was the occasion for
the first “selfie” by an Irish University president which
has attracted in excess of 23,000 views on twitter last
week. You can find out more about these happy events
elsewhere in this issue.
The continuing excellence of our researchers is
emphasised by a best-poster award to Caroline Vaughan
(Dr Justin McCarthy’s lab) and travel awards to Dr Ruslan
Dmitriev, Alicia Waters and Alina Kondrashina (Professor
Dmitri Papkovsky’s lab).
I hope that you enjoy this newsletter and I look forward
A Modelling invitation for you!

Biomedica 2014
On the 29th -30th April, the Academy of Medical
Laboratory Science (A.M.LS) in the year of its 40th
anniversary hosted Biomedica 2014. This is a
unique, biennial forum where Medical Scientists,
Clinicians, academic researchers and diagnostic
partners from industry are invited to come
together, exchange and share research ideas and
to explore the latest technological and scientific
solutions on offer. The event was held in Dublin’s
RDS exhibition hall.

This year’s exhibition attracted in excess of 800
delegates and a scientific poster competition
formed part of the programme. From the poster
entries four finalists were selected and each invited

the fibres are 10 times stronger than
nylon, but are 100 times thinner than
a human hair; they are antimicrobial
and can form a hydrogel. Potential
novel applications include the use of
the biopolymer as a suture in delicate
surgeries, fabric for the textile
industry, or an antimicrobial aerosol

to name but a few. Benthic Labs are
hoping to commercialise some of
these products.

UCC Leads the Way in
Synthetic Biology
Students awarded venture capital
to form SynBio start-up, compete
in international competition
This month, a group of UCC students
will begin a research project that
they will enter in the International
Genetically Engineered Machine
(iGEM) competition. They will be the
first Irish team to compete in this
prestigious event.
In addition to participating in the
iGEM competition, they have set
up a company, Benthic Labs, which
has successfully secured a place
on the SynBio axlr8r programme.
SynBio axlr8r offers start-ups expert
mentoring, lab space, access to
state-of-the-art facilities and 30,000
USD in funding. This funding
will support the team’s bid at
the iGEM competition in Boston,
Massachusetts, this November.
The iGEM competition sees student
teams given a kit of biological parts
at the beginning of the summer.
Working at their own universities,
the teams use these biological parts,
and new parts of their own design, to
build biological systems and operate
them in living cells.
The UCC team aims to run two
innovative synthetic biology projects
over the summer, the results of which
will form the basis of their iGEM entry.
The first project aims to synthesise
a novel biopolymer. By engineering
hagfish genes into bacterial cells, the
team hopes to produce and purify
the proteins that constitute hagfish
slime (a gooey substance used by
the hagfish for self-defence). These
hagfish slime proteins form fibres
The second project will involve
engineering bacteria to detect
specific DNA sequences. In this
way, it is hoped that the bacteria
could be used to detect pathogenic
viruses, for example. This would have
applications as an ultra-low cost
diagnostic technology.
The interdisciplinary group is
made up of students from UCC’s
College of Science, Engineering
NEWSLETTER
and was initiated by Dr Paul Young
and Professor Tommie McCarthy
from the School of Biochemistry and
Cell Biology, who will act as the main
academic mentors.
The iGEM summer competition,
which began with five teams in 2004,
has grown enormously over the
past ten years. This year, 245 teams
from the world’s leading universities
will take part. The competition is
run by the iGEM Foundation, an
independent, non-profit organisation
dedicated to inspiring education and
competition, advancing synthetic
biology, and developing an open
community with collaboration among
students.
SynBio axlr8r is backed by venture
capital firm SOSventures and
focuses on entrepreneurs building
technologies relating to the field of
synthetic biology. The programme
is sponsoring six start-ups through a
three-month period in UCC.

PhD Conferrings in June
On 12 June 2014, five students in the
PhD Scholars Programme in Cancer
Biology were conferred with a PhD
in Cancer Biology from UCC. The
conferring marks the completion of
the first two cohorts of PhD students
in the PhD Scholars Programme in
Cancer Biology with nine students
earning PhD in Cancer Biology from
UCC. Eight more students are due to
complete in 2016.
This Programme was established in
2008 with a €4.3 million award from
Dr Finola Fogarty and Professor Rosemary O’Connor
the Health Research Board to develop
PhD training with an underlying focus
on cell signalling systems and gene
regulation. The Scholars Programme
is directed by Professor Rosemary
O’Connor, with additional leadership
and management provided by a
Steering Committee comprising:
Professor John Atkins, Professor
Tom Cotter, and Professor Tommie
McCarthy, School of Biochemistry
and Cell Biology; Professor Noel
Caplice, Department of Medicine; and
Professor Paul Redmond, Department
of Surgery. The Programme has also
benefitted from input and advice
from an External Advisory Board
consisting of Professor Gerard Evan,
University of Cambridge; Dr Helke
Hillebrand, EMBL; and Professor
Donald McDonnell, Duke University.
Dr Kellie Dean, Training Coordinator
for the PhD Scholars Programme,
has facilitated and monitored the
progress of the students through the
programme and provided ongoing
support and mentorship to the PhD
Scholars.

PLoS Publication from
Professor David Sheehan’s lab
Ms Sidra Ilyas, a PhD Scholar at the University
of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan was funded
by the Pakistani Government to spend eightmonths in the lab of Professor David Sheehan
during 2012- 2013.
She is investigating the biochemical basis of an
unusual metal-resistance in a fungus isolated
from industrial effluent in Lahore, Pakistan.
This turned out to be Trichosporon asahii, an
emerging pathogen increasingly implicated
in nosocomial infections, fatal opportunistic
infections and in a condition called summertype hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Sidra
discovered that this fungus could be
successfully cultured in very high levels of
heavy metals such as arsenic and cadmium.

She came to UCC to compare proteome
profiles between metal-exposed and control
fungi. Taking advantage of the availability of
two recently-sequenced T. asahii genomes and
using redox proteomics approaches, she was
able to show that Arsenic had specific oxidative
effects on key enzymes involved in amino acid
metabolism.
Her study has just been accepted for
publication in PLoS One (Ilyas et al., 2014).
