Katie Taylor’s fight with Amanda Serrano in April last year has been listed in the latest edition of the Guinness World Records book, given it was the first women’s boxing match to headline Madison Square Garden in New York.
The Caroline Foundation has been awarded €800,000 for breast cancer treatment research.
The award was funded by Science Foundation Ireland and Puma Biotechnology and will go towards advancing cancer research skills in DCU.
SFI provided €400,000 of the funding and the rest was provided by Puma Biotechnology, a biopharma company that specialises in the acquisition and development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of cancer.
The Caroline Foundation was established in memory of Greystones woman Caroline Dwyer-Hickey who died in 2013 aged 35 after a nine-year battle with cancer. Caroline was a patient of Professor John Crown from the time of her being diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2004, and was a public advocate for cancer research.
