Michael Monaghan
Trinity College of Dublin, Trinity Centre for Bionegineering
Ireland

Michael comes from Ireland and performed his PhD in NUI Galway (Ireland), postdoc in Stuttgart (Germany) after which he returned to Ireland (this time Dublin) to establish his own lab. Since the beginning of his research career he is interested in two things- engineering treatments to address myocardial infarction and microscopy. One of his greatest hobbies is DIY and building things -so at the weekends he can often be covered in paint and has indeed destroyed many of his clothes with paint, and more recently  he has returned to running to shed the excess pounds accumulated during COVID-19!
