Tia Keyes

Tia E. Keyes (GRSC, Ph.D., M.R.S.C., C.Chem. CSci) is a Professor of physical chemistry at the School of Chemical Sciences, a member of the National Centre for Sensor Research at Dublin City University and the SFI CSET funded Biomedical Diagnostics Institute. She is a specialist in photochemistry and molecular spectroscopy.
In 2006 Keyes was awarded a special presidents prize by the President of DCU "on the basis of her outstanding contributions to inorganic photophysics as well as energy and electron transfer dynamics" and for having "played a key role in developing the research programme of the Biomedical Diagnostics Institute that was funded by the Science Foundation Ireland in 2005 to the tune of more than €16.5m." Further it was claimed that she "made outstanding research contributions in physical chemistry, promoted science to new audiences, pushed the boundaries of multi- and interdisciplinary science, contributed significantly to social and economic development."
Keyes and her colleagues work showing that using ruthenium complexes to label cells can allow both imaging by
fluorescence and resonance Raman spectroscopy to be carried out independently without changing the conditions (This should allow simultaneous or consecutive imaging by both techniques) was reported by the RSCs Highlights of Chemical Biology and in ChemNet. This work was published in Chemical Communications.
