Biography

Research Project: Nanoscale engineering of multifunctional probes for cancer diagnosis and theraputics
Supervisors: Fang Xie (Imperial), Thanh Nguyen (UCL)

Caomihe received her B.Sc. in Chemistry with Biophysical Chemistry from University College Dublin in 2016. She then moved to London to pursue an MRes degree in Nanomaterials at Imperial College London. Caoimhe is now undertaking a PhD project with the CDT-ACM under the supervision of Dr. Fang Xie and Professor Thanh Nguyen which aims to address the current difficulty with early stage cancer detection through the use of functionalized nano-agents, and provide simultaneous treatment.
