About Zoe Gardiner
Hi everyone!
My name is Zoe (she/her). I am from Co.Louth, Ireland. I'm in my second year studying Medicine at Trinity College Dublin.
My Laidlaw research project is about exploiting the relationship between LPS and capsule for therapeutic benefit against E.coli UTI in sepsis. Sepsis has a mortality rate of 1 in 5 and the majority of sepsis infections originate in the urinary tract (from UTIs). I hope with this research to expand the available therapies for sepsis infections derived from UTIs.
In my free time, I like to run, play gaelic football, and I also volunteer with Streetdoctors and Dublin Homeless Awareness. One thing about me that surprises people is that I'm slightly married to my Google calendar.
I'd love to connect with someone who is doing research in similar areas and is open to a collaboration! But also I'd love to connect with anyone and am so excited to meet new people! :)
