Roisin O’Connor from Ventry has scooped a prestigious award from Regeneron, the largest scale bulk biologics productions facility in Ireland.
The 2019 Regeneron Ireland College Awards, in collaboration with University College Cork (U.C.C.), were announced last week at an event in Regeneron’s Industrial Operations and Production Supply (IOPs) facility in Limerick.
The awards acknowledge outstanding research projects which are presented by selected students pursuing degrees in science and engineering. The winning students are awarded a generous bursary to support their studies, a paid placement at Regeneron and a Regeneron employee mentor to help them take the first steps of their careers.
To participate in the award selected students submitted a presentation on a specific topic related to their academic course. The shortlisted candidates were invited to present their findings to a group of senior Regeneron managers who selected the winners.
Professor Tommie McCarthy, University College Cork, added, “The Regeneron College Awards have allowed us to build further bridges between industry and academia and our talented student pool. The awards give students the opportunity to see what a world-class career in science and STEM could be, with one of the world’s most innovative companies. U.C.C. is delighted to collaborate with Regeneron on these awards”.
