Kaelin Smith
Kaelin Smith is a research assistant joining the Ocular Pharmacology and Genetics Group at University College Dublin. He will join a Breakthrough Cancer Research-funded project that aims to investigate the role of cysteinyl leukotriene (CysLT) receptors in Uveal Melanoma and whether blocking these receptors with drugs can alter different cancer hallmarks.
