About Us
The McMackin Lab harnesses MRI and electrophysiological methods such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), electromyography (EMG), and electroencephalography (EEG) to understand and develop clinically meaningful measurements of neurological diseases, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis/ Motor Neurone Disease and Huntington's Disease. The Lab also performs research to understand the basic human physiology underpinning the electrophysiology-based measures, to improve the correct understanding and application of these measures.
The McMackin Lab works in close collaboration with the Academic Unit of Neurology and is part of the EXG Research Group, a collaboration of neuroscience, medicine, physiology, bioengineering and mathematics researchers with the common interest of harnessing electrophysiology to tackle neurological diseases.

December 2025
PhD Student Eva Woods was awarded a Human Biology Project Fellowship to undertake a new project called ElectroHD! This project is supervised by Dr. Roisin McMackin and in collaboration with Prof. Niall Pender (RCSI). We are delighted to have been chosen for this award. Please keep an eye out for calls for participation !
Congratulations to team member Sanya Dalal on receiving second place at the Rob Clarke Award Conference for her fantastic work that she completed during her time at our lab !
