Head of the Venom System Lab, University of Galway

I am a zoologist specialised in the evolution and development of venom systems, predation strategies and prey detection in venomous invertebrates.

I am currently investigating a range of related topics including the morphology and development of spider venom glands and the potential of arthropod venom as a novel source of antimicrobial compounds for the pharmaceutical industry.
