Congratulations to Roisin Ryan, a student of UCD’s Biomedical Health & Life Sciences (BHLS) programme, has been awarded funding from the Anatomical Society for a summer research project in the Developmental Biomechanics Group. The Undergraduate Summer Vacation Research Scholarships provided by the Anatomical Society offers bursaries to enthusiastic undergraduate students to undertake research in the Anatomical Sciences in the summer vacation. Roisin’s project is entitled “How does hip joint size and morphology, and skeletal age, influence the risk of avascular necrosis in the paediatric hip?” and is a collaboration with Prof Connor Green and Dr Siobhán Hoare. Many thanks to the Anatomical Society for funding Roisin’s project, and welcome to the group Roisin!
Let’s learn more about Roisin, in her own words:
I’m Roisin Ryan and I’m from Limerick. I am going into my third year of the Biomedical, Health and Life Sciences course in University College Dublin and helping to conduct research on the topic of Perthes’ disease for the summer. When I’m not doing college work, you can probably find me in a bookshop or concert venue in Dublin!
