Biography

Kelly Dwyer is an Irish Research Council Employment-Based Post-graduate working between the University of Limerick (UL) and Monaghan Biosciences Ltd. She is currently researching novel enzymes from fungal sources which have potential advantages (thermo-activity, thermo-stability, etc.) over current commercial enzymes used in various industries (biofuel, mushroom-growing industry, paper and pulp industry, baking industry, animal feed industry, etc.). She completed her BSc in Industrial Biochemistry at UL in 2014. She has held the following roles: QC Technician at Vistakon Ireland, Process Engineers Group member at Bristol Myer-Squibb, Tutor at Science Learning Centre, Laboratory Demonstrator, and Graduate Teaching Assistant at UL   Kelly Dwyer is an Irish Research Council Employment-Based Post-graduate working between the University of Limerick (UL) and Monaghan Biosciences Ltd.
