Eoin Dodson

Eoin Dodson has extensive work experience in the field of medical research. Eoin started their career as a Research Intern at ANSTO, where they observed the subcellular localization of two alternative splice isoforms transcribed from the TSPO gene locus. Eoin also performed molecular cloning and fluorescence microscopy in this role.

Following their internship, Eoin completed an Honours Project as part of their undergraduate bachelor of science degree. This project involved analyzing the gut microbiome of a knockout mouse model using next-gen DNA sequencing techniques. Eoin also conducted a literature review on the TSPO gene and its protein-protein interactions.

Eoin then joined the Garvan Institute of Medical Research as a PhD student in 2014. In this role, they focused on investigating the function of a specific class of non-coding RNAs in the response of cancer cells to chemotherapy drug treatment. Eoin'sresearch also involved identifying potential new drug candidates and proposing improvements to the stratification of newly diagnosed patients based on gene expression patterns.

Eoin Dodson began their education at Nedlands Primary School, where they completed their primary education from years 1 to 7 between 1998 and 2003. Eoin then attended Amersham School for their high school years 8 to 10 from 2003 to 2006. Eoin completed their high school education at Port Hacking High School, achieving a High School Certificate with notable achievements: Band 6 in Biology, Band 5 in Chemistry, Physics, and Maths, and Band 4 in English from 2006 to 2009. Finally, Eoin pursued higher education at UNSW, where they earned a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) Hons1 degree in Cell/Cellular and Molecular Biology from 2010 to 2013.
