Title of thesis: Circadian Rhythms Regulate the NLRP3 Inflammasome in Macrophages
Prof. Helene Duez from INSERM (who attended virtually) and Dr. Cristina Ruedell Reschke from RCSI were suitably impressed by James during his viva. They all agreed that a robust but enjoyable discussion was had. James passed with flying colours and his thesis required no further corrections, a fact that James was understandably very proud of.
Congrats Dr. O’Siorain, you battled many issues due to COVID during this PhD and technical challenges. But you kept plugging away and in the end produced a lovely piece of work which we will hopefully get published soon.
