Biography

Dr. Michelle Kilcoyne completed her PhD in analytical carbohydrate chemistry in the School of Chemistry at NUI Galway in 2004, specialising in structural analysis of bacterial polysaccharides. She then took up a postdoctoral position in Arizona State University where she further specialised in mass spectrometry and HPLC, as well as expanding her interests in to mammalian glycosylation. She returned as a postdoctoral researcher to NUI Galway in 2007 working on industry-supported and European projects, developing high throughput platforms for carbohydrate profiling. In 2014 Dr. Kilcoyne was appointed Lecturer in Glycosciences and is a member of Discipline of Microbiology at NUI Galway. She was the recipient of a Royal Society of Chemistry Analytical Chemistry Trust Fund Fellowship for 2018.

Dr. Kilcoyne's main research interests are in host-microbe interactions, immune response, bacterial polysaccharides and biofilms, and development of carbohydrate analytical methods and platforms for analytics.

Teaching Interests

I teach Microbiology-related subjects at 3rd and 4th year undergraduate level and Protein and Analytical Technologies at postgraduate level. I currently co-ordinate 4th year Microbiology and have co-ordinated the final year Microbiology Research Project since 2017, looking after 60-86 students per year. I completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching & Learning in Higher Education.

I have supervised/co-supervised 7 PhD students including 5 to completion (5 graduated, 1 submitted, and 1 in his first year (Uthesh Umapathy)). I have supervised 2 MSc by research (1 graduated, 1 is currently writing her thesis). Since taking up my academic post, I supervised 12 MSc taught students (graduated) for their research projects (8 MSc in Biotechnology, 3 MSc in Biomedical Science, and 1 MSc in Cancer Research) in a variety of projects including glycobiology, microbiology, prognostics, and analytics.
