DrThérèse Herlihy

Thérèse was awarded her PhD from UCD in 2024 and her research used ultrasound methods to evaluate liver stiffness in patients with chronic liver disease. In 2016 Therese received a 50,000euro grant from the Irish Hepatitis C Outcomes and Research Network (ICORN) to support her research into how liver stiffness changes in patients that receive Direct Acting Antiviral therapy to treat Hepatitis C. Therese performed her research at both the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital and St. Vincent's University Hospital and is a member of the UCD Centre for Experimental Pathogen Host Research (CEPHR) (formerly HMRG). As part of this group Thérèse has assessed the thickness of the intima-media layer of the carotid artery as part of a wider study on patients living with HIV.
Thérèse has also worked with the anatomy department at UCD and has scanned 3D models of the femoral artery and vein that can be used for teaching purposes.
