RCSI Research Summer School
Organised by Dr. Sarah O’Neill, the Research Summer School (RSS) aims to support undergraduate health science students in carrying out research by immersing them into RCSI’s research based community. The programme aims to instil students with a passion for research and empower them with the skills required to undertake scientific research. Through the RSS, students will be introduced to a wide variety of research skills such as project management, statistics, DNA analysis techniques, protein immuno-detection, and cell culture. In addition, a weekly ‘Discovery Series’ will take place where researchers from the college discuss their areas of research with the students. For more information, please visit rss.rcsi.ie
