In the third episode of Behind the Lab Doors, Amy speaks with Dr. Elisa Fadda of the Chemistry Department at Maynooth University. Amy and Elisa talk about a range of topics including how she first found a love for computing and chemistry and her current work using high performance computing to study dynamic biomolecules.Achieving her PhD in Computational Chemistry from the University of Montreal, Dr. Fadda then went on to work as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto. Upon arriving to Ireland in 2008, she upheld a position at N.U.I. Galway studying glycoproteins in disease diagnostics. Since 2013 Dr. Fadda has been a lecturer at Maynooth University, and her current areas of research include studying the molecular mechanisms of carbohydrate regulation of immunoglobulins and the structure and function of intrinsically disordered proteins. This episode is hosted and produced by Amy Dugdale, edited by Akash Satheesan with music by Sean Dowd and artwork by Orla Farrelly.
