We are delighted to have our paper selected for #APSselect award!!! In this study we show that estrogen deficient osteoblasts fail to produce inhibitory OPG after mechanical stimulation, but upregulate M-CSF and COX-2 expression and thus leave osteoclast activity unconstrained. https://t.co/WKXo3cTzTA

New Award!
Irene Simfia, a second year PhD student in Mechanobiology and Medical Device Design Research Group (MMDRG) lead by Professor Laoise McNamara, was awarded The ORS Collaborative Exchange Grant 2016/2017. This exchange program is funded by The Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS) and is dedicated to foster the excellence in research by supporting the interactions between research institutions. The program was initiated in 2010 with a motive to promote collaboration and knowledge exchange in the field of orthopaedic research. Through this award, Irene seeks to collaborate with Professor Li-Dan You at the University of Toronto to further investigate the osteoporotic therapeutic potential of regulators of mechanotransduction in bone. Irene believes that this collaboration will enable her to learn from the experts in mechanotransduction, bone biology and molecular biology and will also help her nurture multi-disciplinary skills. It will be highly motivating for her to be able to share scientific knowledge with fellow young researchers, based at the University of Toronto.

New Award!
Laura O’Sullivan was awarded Best Threesis talk at the 7th NUIG/ UL Postgraduate Research Day which took place at the Alice Perry Engineering Building, NUI Galway in 2017. In this competition Laura, along with seven other finalists, was required to deliver a comprehensive and engaging three minute presentation of her research project using only three slides. The event had a varied audience of postgraduate students and PIs from the college of Engineering and Informatics and the college of Science from both NUI Galway and the University of Limerick.
Laura is currently in the 2nd year of her PhD research under the supervision of Professor Laoise McNamara. Her research focuses on the assessment of the structural and compositional changes in trabecular bone due to estrogen deficiency using high resolution micro CT and nanoindentation. She is also currently undertaking an in-vivo CT study of the changes to trabecular bone in rats under estrogen deficient conditions. These methods will later be applied to assess the efficacy of a mechanobiology based treatment for osteoporosis developed by the McNamara research group. This research is funded by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI).

New Award!
Hollie Allison, was awarded runner up for her podium presentation at the 3rd annual Matrix Biology Ireland 2016 meeting which took place at Hotel Meyrick, Galway this year. This annual conference promotes and consolidates scientific interest and expertise around extracellular matrix research in all its forms within Ireland. Hollie won runner up amongst over 20 PhD students who presented over the 3 day conference.
Hollie was also awarded best engineering talk at the 7th NUIG/UL postgraduate research day which took place at NUI Galway this year. The annual research day brings academics and researchers from colleges of Engineering and Informatics and college of Science at both NUI Galway and the University of Limerick, to showcase some of the cutting edge research being carried and to promote collaboration between the two universities.
Hollie is currently in the 2nd year of her PhD research under the supervision of Professor Laoise McNamara. Her research focusses on the changes in osteoblast induced osteoclast differentiation under mechanical loading and estrogen deficient conditions. In the hopes of finding an alternative treatment for post-menopausal osteoporosis. This research is funded by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI).
