Prof Donna O’Shea, chair of Cybersecurity at Munster Technological University said: “Ijeoma had a unique ability to communicate her research around drug delivery and nanotechnology to such a broad audience. Congratulations too to Dr Niall Smith for his excellent contribution to the summit, leading the conversation in the role of curiosity and storytelling in research."
