Really excited to see Pratibha kicking off the first student presentation from my group at #BINI2026. A great start to the project!
Excited to be joining the @Futureneuro_ie Centre as a StAR Lecturer based in RCSI. Looking forward working with Ireland's leading centre for the study of neurological disease on developing new devices and treatments for neurotrauma repair!
👋 Meet Dr @iWoodsie, newly appointed StAR Lecturer at the FutureNeuro @Researchirel Centre under the @RCSI_Irl Strategic Academic Recruitment programme. His research explores biomaterials, gene therapies, and electrical fields to support CNS repair: futureneurocentre.ie/our-peo…

RCSI researchers have shown how electroconductive nanomaterials embedded in a tissue engineering scaffold can be used to boost axonal growth in neurons.
The findings could advance treatments for neurological conditions.

Delighted to recieve the Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland Bronze Medal Award at this year's @bini_irl conference. Looking forward to pushing our electroactive implant technologies towards preclinical testing over the next year with @fjobrien and our team at @TissueEngDublin
Really enjoyed presenting my work on developing 3D printed MXene biomaterials at @bio. Combining 3D printing with conductive nanomaterials provides us with exciting tools for tuning electrical stimulation based therapies.
@iWoodsie presenting his research on 3D printed electroconductive MXene-based microstructures in a biomimetic tissue engineering scaffold for spinal cord repair at BinI this morning. #TERGonTour
