Huge congratulations to DISCO – DNA based Infrastructure for Storage and COmputation senior postdoc Dr Abeer Eshra who has been awarded funding as part of the Research Ireland Pathway Programme.
The funding of over €675,000 covers a four-year period and supports and provides resources to establish independent research careers. It also provides each project with additional support for a postgraduate student who will be primarily supervised by the awardee.
Dr Eshra’s research, titled Thermally regulated Renewable and Automated DNA Computing Devices (TRAD), aims to create reusable, automated DNA computing systems that could open the door to greener, low-energy computing, and even lead to innovations in areas like smart drug delivery and biosensors.
