Oisin Cappa

Oisin Cappa is a Research Fellow at the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences at Queen's University Belfast. His research focuses on molecular mechanisms underlying respiratory, cardiovascular, and age-related diseases.

Research Interests: Using single-cell RNA sequencing, Cappa investigates cellular senescence in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), microvascular dysfunction in diabetes, transcriptomic changes in cardiomyopathy, and host-pathogen interactions in bacterial infections. His work spans molecular biology, immunology, and nutritional genomics.

Collaborations: He works with multidisciplinary teams across medicine, cardiovascular science, and ophthalmology. Key collaborators include Simpson D.A., Watson C.J., and Taggart C.C.
