Joe delivered an oral presentation at the annual Inorganic Ireland Symposium in Trinity College Dublin on 18 May 2023. In his talk, “Carbohydrate-functionalised metal complexes: targeting
pathogens for therapeutic and sensing applications”, he spoke about the latest work from the group in using metal complexes to target bacteria and fungi. At this symposium, Prof. Thorri Gunnlaugsson, Joe’s PhD advisor, was presented the ICI David Browne Award and also delivered a talk, including some of Joe’s work from his PhD among the vast array of other work across his career, leading to this recognition. The UCD-based members of the group also attended the lectures and engaged in the question and answer sessions.
