It was really a great place we went and visited. I really loved the trip. This was our itinerary of the whole trip:)
Day 1 30 September
We reached Dublin airport and proceeded to globe trotters hostel from Dublin airport. On the way the tour guide gave us a brief introduction to the geographical background and historical background of Ireland. It was good to see the medieval buildings still used as banks and shops there
This is the museum where art works and even a pianist playing piano was there at Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam
Nice pictures from Ireland
Day 2 1 October
We went to visit National Centre for Medical Genetics. National Centre for medical genetics mainly do research in cytogenetics, clinical genetics and molecular genetics. I learnt about polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and how they are done to test the genetics in humans. It was really interesting. NCMG has collaborations with UK and European hospitals to help do diagnostics for their patients
The place where the research of genetic inherited disease in Ireland is done

We proceeded to Merck Sharpe and Dohme at Swords where we learnt how the pharmaceutical plant is run there in the manufacturing of tablets and pharmaceutical products. MSD at Swords is very new and entering the corridors is like entering an art gallery. It is very artistic. There were presentation about what Merck produces and also information about the company. It was cool to learn that they work using the Six lean sigma which helps to make work done very effective with getting it right the first time principle. I am impressed by the rooms and the different machines that they have to commercially produce their products.
