About
Christine Rudolph recently completed her doctorate research on the HRB Scholars Program in Molecular Medicine at Trinity College Dublin, and is currently based at The Institute of Molecular Medicine at St. James’s Hospital Dublin, Ireland.
The prestigious program consisted of a taught component involving M.Sc. courses in Molecular Medicine followed by laboratory research towards the completion of a PhD thesis. In September 2008, Christine commenced her thesis on cellular signalling in T cells. Specifically, her research is focused on proteins involved in T cell activation, adhesion, and migration, including Protein Kinase C and the Receptor for Activated C Kinase 1(RACK1), which directs the subcellular localisation of PKC isozymes in response to extracellular stimuli. Christine is currently preparing manuscripts on her doctoral research for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
Christine has extensive research experience in tissue culture and aseptic technique, proteomics, immunoassays, high throughput screening, and laser scanning confocal microscopy. In addition, she has trained incoming research students in laboratory techniques and assisted in undergraduate and postgraduate courses and laboratory demonstration throughout her doctoral research. In addition to well developed scientific skills and laboratory techniques, Christine has also completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Statistics at Trinity College Dublin improving her ability to critically and analytically appraise data. Christine is currently a member of the steering committee for the TCD Journal of Postgraduate Research, further exanding her interpersonal and communication skills.
Having developed a strong interest in medically applicable scientific research and communication of cutting-edge developments, Christine is interested in pursuing a career in the fields of Clinical/Pharmaceutical Research and Science Communication.
