The fertility rate has dropped in 11 of the 27 EU members states in the last 20 years, suggesting a ‘crisis in reproduction’ in Europe. Fertility is also understood to decline abruptly after a certain age, even though the mechanisms of resilience of reproductive cells is only beginning to be studied. Time-lapse microscopy has been at the centre of the way we know about reproductive biology since the early 20th century, and today continues to condition how scientists create images of reproductive cells in laboratory settings. In this sense, animation techniques are key to scientific and popular understandings of both the ‘biological clock’ and the supposed challenges or urgencies of population replacement. Dr Rebecca Close’s DOROTHY MSCA project examines the role of time-lapse technologies in imaging the reproductive cell in lab settings and shaping popular understandings of fertility and reproduction more broadly.

The third Irish Implementation Science Training Institute Seminar recently took place in UCC. #ISTI2024 Following a very successful seminar, we wish to thank the facilitators, speakers, HIRH staff, staff at Nano Nagle Place & UCC, and Health Research Board (HRB) who collaborated to make this seminar possible. We are thankful to the participants & hope you expanded your knowledge of implementation science. Prof Ella Arensman, Head of School of Public Health, said: "I would like to congratulate Dr Sheena Mc Hugh McHugh, Tania McCollum and all colleagues involved in organising an excellent three-day seminar on behalf of the Health Implementation Research Hub , which they organised for the 3rd subsequent year. The Seminar was attended by more than 60 delegates, including representatives from the US, Australia and the UK. Delegates covered a wide range of settings and topics, including primary care, hospital settings, community settings, and the Irish prison service, and health priorities, such as diabetes management, neonatal care, kidney transplantation, mental health and dementia. The Health Implementation Research Hub fulfils a critical role in increasing capacity building in transferable skills in implementation research across Public Health priorities, and I am delighted to see the increasing global interest. Professor Helen Whelton presented an engaging closing statement at the Network Meeting on Tuesday evening in UCC's Aula Maxima, whereby she underlined the leadership of Sheena and her team in Implementation Science at both national and global levels. I fully endorse Helen’s words and my sincerest congratulations to Sheena, Tania and the team on this most relevant and successful event."

🌍 Grateful for the opportunity to contribute at the "Innovative Synergies: Integrating Data and Collaboration in Healthcare" Conference at Dundalk Institute of Technology. I highlighted the criticality of data sharing in rare disease research and practice for better care and outcomes. I aslo emphasised the impact of the All Ireland Rare Disease Interdisciplinary Research Network (RAIN) in uniting diverse groups of researchers and knowledge users to address the unmet needs of people living with rare diseases across the Island of Ireland. I am excited to continue the conversation at the #HealthData2024 conference, organized by Connected Health & Wellbeing Cluster and EIT Health Ireland & UK, supported by InterTradeIreland, EnterpriseIreland TechCentres, and HIRANI. Let's explore how integrating healthcare stakeholders can drive innovation and address evolving healthcare needs through data access, management, and collaboration. 📊🤝 #HealthcareInnovation #RareDiseases #AI #DataIntegration Health Research Board (HRB) McKnight Amy Jayne, Prof University College Dublin UCD IRIS Centre Breanndán Casey

Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) Research and Innovation have started a new monthly series showcasing the wide range of exciting research and innovation projects being undertaken by staff at CHI. The first entry in the series is about Dr. Cilian Ó Maoldomhnaigh’s research on Tuberculosis. Cilian is funded through the Health Research Board (HRB) Clinician Scientist Postdoctoral Fellowship programme to undertake the project "Targeting immunometabolism to protect children from Tuberculosis infection”. This HRB funded project builds on Cilian's PhD studies that were supported through a National Children's Research Centre and Children's Health Foundation Clinical Research Fellowship.
