Delighted to have this project up and running. Special thanks to Prof Hal Duncan, @AshlandInc and @Entirl for making it happen.
RCSI is partnering with @tcddublin and @AshlandInc to develop dental materials that fight bacteria and regenerate tissues, combining infection control with healing. Led by Professor @orankennedy, the project is funded by @Entirl with co-funding from Ashland. #RCSIdiscover

I was delighted to take part in the show :) Thanks @newstalkscience for having me, it’s always a pleasure discussing cool new science! @RCSI_Irl @TissueEngDublin @kellehersan
Live @NewstalkFM: An team of researchers have developed a technique that uses liquid metal to create an elastic material that is impervious to both gases & liquids! @orankennedy & @kellehersan are here to tell us more! @scienceirel #NTFM #Believeinscience #SFI
