Bioinorganic chemistry research: carbohydrates and metals
Welcome to the website of the research group of Dr Joe Byrne, a chemistry research group based in UCD, Ireland. We investigate topics at the interface of carbohydrate chemistry and inorganic chemistry, with a particular interest in creating tools against bacteria. Our research is funded by Irish Research Council, Science Foundation Ireland, and the Higher Education Authority/Shared Island Fund, and is supported by CÚRAM Centre for Medical Device Research. We are also members of the Innogly and GlycoNanoProbes COST Action network. Please navigate around the site to learn more about our research interests, our team and news.
We are always open to new collaborations and enquiries about vacancies. For informal enquiries, feel free to get in touch.
There are currently vacancies in the group – please see here for more details about vacancies and potential funding opportunities.
