Dr. Michelle Kilcoyne is Lecturer in Glycosciences at the National University of Ireland Galway. 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 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, is currently a member of Discipline of Microbiology at NUI Galway and leads the Carbohydrate Signalling Group. She is the recipient of a Royal Society of Chemistry Analytical Chemistry Trust Fund Fellowship for 2018. Her main interests are in glycoanalytics, novel glycomics platform development and carbohydrate-mediated host-microbe interactions. See less
