Plasma Plus at the TU Dublin Open Day
Our research group Plasma+ participated in the TU Dublin Open Day held at the Grangegorman campus on 25 April 2026, where PhD candidate Shengxin Zhang contributed to showcasing the group’s latest research activities and technological developments in plasma science. The event provided an overview of current advances and their potential applications across biomedical and interdisciplinary fields.
The showcase highlighted ongoing work on cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) and its emerging role in cancer research with a particular focus on its ability to generate reactive species under near-room-temperature conditions and its reported selective anti-tumour effects. Through interactive demonstrations and research displays, the group introduced how plasma-based technologies are being explored as novel therapeutic approaches and how they can be integrated with existing treatment strategies.
This engagement aimed to communicate the scientific principles underpinning plasma research to a broader audience while demonstrating its translational potential. The event also provided an opportunity to promote public understanding of plasma-based technologies and their relevance to future developments in healthcare and applied science.
