  • Translating Discovery Into Care Professor Stephen Maher On The Future Of Cancer Therapy

    Translating Discovery Into Care Professor Stephen Maher On The Future Of Cancer Therapy
    2025/11/06

    In today's episode, we are joined by Professor Stephen Maher, an expert in translational oncology and radiation research at Trinity College Dublin, where he also serves as the Director of Postgraduate Studies for the School of Medicine.

    Stephen's work focuses on understanding why some cancers respond to treatment while others resist it — particularly in relation to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. His research explores how factors like microRNAs, the DNA damage response, and tumor hypoxia influence treatment sensitivity, with a strong emphasis on oesophageal and pancreatic cancers.

    Hit play to explore:

    • The future of anti-cancer therapeutics.

    • The ways that radiation research is evolving.

    • Why translational oncology is so important for improving patient outcomes.

    After completing his Ph.D. in Oncology at RCSI and a fellowship at the National Cancer Institute in Maryland, Stephen has built a career dedicated to bridging lab-based discovery with patient-focused care. He leads national and international collaborations in cancer biology and has helped develop cutting-edge radiotherapy and hypoxia research cores at Trinity's Translational Medicine Institute.

  • Inside The Primate Mind: What Animal Navigation Reveals About Human Cognition

    Inside The Primate Mind: What Animal Navigation Reveals About Human Cognition
    2025/11/05

    Can we learn more about humans by studying animal behavior? For Dr. Francine Dolins, this question lies at the heart of her life's work. An Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, Dr. Dolins explores the rich intersections between animal cognition, ecology, and the evolutionary foundations of behavior.

    With a Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology and Behavioral Primatology from the University of Stirling and a BSc in Behavioral Ecology from the University of Sussex, her research delves into how non-human primates and humans navigate their worlds. From lemurs in Madagascar to tamarins in Costa Rica and Peru, Dr. Dolins studies spatial cognition, decision-making, and navigation in both natural habitats and experimental settings.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • Dr. Dolins's pioneering work on virtual reality research with apes.

    • How primates use mental maps and landmarks to make navigational decisions.

    • What current research can reveal about the evolution of intelligence, cooperation, and social cognition.

    Dr. Dolins also collaborates with scientists worldwide, combining field primatology, technology, and comparative psychology to advance both animal welfare and conservation education.
