Bríd Ryan
Irish cancer researcher
Bríd Ryan is an Irish cancer researcher known for her work in the field of lung cancer and cancer biology. She is a senior investigator at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in the United States, where she leads research efforts to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer development and progression.
Early life and education[edit | edit source]
Bríd Ryan was born and raised in Ireland. She pursued her undergraduate studies at University College Dublin, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry. Following her undergraduate education, Ryan moved to the United States to further her studies. She completed her Ph.D. in Molecular Biology at the University of Pennsylvania, where she focused on cancer research.
Career[edit | edit source]
After completing her doctoral studies, Bríd Ryan joined the National Cancer Institute as a postdoctoral fellow. Her research at the NCI has primarily focused on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of lung cancer, with an emphasis on identifying biomarkers for early detection and targets for therapy.
Ryan's work has contributed significantly to the understanding of the role of microRNAs in cancer. She has published numerous studies on how these small non-coding RNAs can influence cancer cell behavior and how they might be used as diagnostic tools or therapeutic targets.
Research contributions[edit | edit source]
Bríd Ryan's research has been instrumental in advancing the field of cancer biology. Her studies on the role of microRNAs in lung cancer have provided insights into how these molecules can regulate gene expression and impact tumor growth and metastasis. Ryan's work has also explored the potential of using microRNAs as biomarkers for early cancer detection, which could lead to improved patient outcomes.
In addition to her research on microRNAs, Ryan has investigated the genetic and epigenetic changes that occur in lung cancer. Her work aims to identify novel therapeutic targets and develop strategies to overcome resistance to existing treatments.
Awards and recognition[edit | edit source]
Bríd Ryan has received several awards and honors for her contributions to cancer research. Her work has been recognized by the scientific community, and she has been invited to speak at numerous international conferences. Ryan's research has been published in leading scientific journals, highlighting her impact on the field of cancer biology.
