Research Areas:

Grainne has been a member of CRCE’s Cancer Mechanisms and Biomarkers group for over 10 years. During that time she has participated in many research projects such as identifying gene expression biomarkers of radiation exposure by nCounter and QPCR technologies and investigating the effect of low doses of radiation on the hematopoietic stem cell populations. Grainne recently obtained her PhD from Brunel University (UK) where she focused on investigating the genetic and epigenetic pathways affected in the development of acute myeloid leukaemia after radiation exposure.
