Inish M. G. O'Doherty, Graduate Student

Inish is a member of the Training Program in Chemical Biology (TPCB) and is an O'Reilly foundation scholar. He received his undergraduate B.Sc in chemistry in 2007 from University College Dublin, Ireland. Currently he is investigating the design, synthesis and application of small molecule probes for receptor identification in model systems, including human cell culture and C.elegans. When he is not in the lab crushing science, Inish enjoys taking part in triathlons, doing crossfit, cooking and hanging out with friends.
