Biographical Details:

Dr. Ana M. Terres received her undergraduate degree in Biology from the University Complutense of Madrid, and then completed an MSc in Neuroanatomy and a PhD in Cellular Microbiology at the same university. She was awarded a Marie Curie Post-Doctoral Fellowship from the EU in 1998 to carry out work on H. pylori pathophysiological interaction with gastrointestinal epithelium at the Department of Clinical Medicine, Trinity College Dublin (TCD). She lectured at the MSc in Molecular Medicine (TCD) and mentored a number of MD, MSc and PhD students until May 2004. At this time she left the bench to take up an administrative position as Research Officer at the Institute of Molecular Medicine in TCD to support IMM scientists in all aspects of funding acquisition and management. In May 2005 she was appointed as Research Officer at the Office of the Vice-President for Research in DCU.
