The RCSI Department of Chemistry was founded in 1828 when Prof. James Apjohn FRS, was appointed as the RCSI Professor of Chemistry. This marked the foundation of the first successful chemistry teaching and research programmes in Ireland.
Congrats to Prof O'Shea's team on the new publication-a non-covalent NM-ER label that tracks intracellular lipid dynamics throughout all stages of mitosis.
