Regeneron College Awards 2024 recognises three University of Limerick students from the Faculty of Science and Engineering
Chemical and Biochemical Engineering student Kate Storan from Dooradoyle, Limerick, along with Industrial Biochemistry students Eva McMahon, from Ardnacrusha, Co Clare and Anna Feenan, Carrigaline, Co Cork were presented with their awards at a special ceremony which took place on Thursday, February 22, at Regeneron’s Industrial Operations and Production Supply (IOPS) facility in Raheen, Limerick.
The awards aim to honour and celebrate exceptional research projects undertaken by select students pursuing degrees in Science and Engineering. The awards also provide a glimpse into the potential of a career in STEM within one of the world’s leading innovative companies.
Students from University of Limerick were given the unique opportunity to compete for awards in Quality Control, Manufacturing, or Engineering, depending on their specific field of study. The students were tasked with the exciting challenge of developing a project based on a topic provided by Regeneron. They then had the chance to present their work to a group of business representatives, followed by an interactive Q&A session, allowing them to engage directly with Regeneron colleagues.

Kate, Eva and Anna were selected as this year’s winners and have received a substantial bursary to aid their academic pursuits, a paid internship at Regeneron where they are currently on their Cooperative Education placement, and the guidance of a Regeneron employee mentor to help navigate the early stages of their careers.
Speaking after the awards Niall O’Leary, Senior Vice President, and Site Lead IOPS Raheen said, “Regeneron has a longstanding symbiotic relationship with UL and these awards represent our commitment to nurturing talent and helping develop leaders of the future. We congratulate all three award recipients; their perseverance and talent exemplify the spirit of UL’s commitment to fostering academic excellence.”
Dr Colm Cunniffe, Cooperative Education Manager, Science and Engineering at University of Limerick, added, “University of Limerick is delighted to collaborate with Regeneron on these awards which showcase the high calibre of our students. We are very proud to have an ongoing relationship with Regeneron through our Cooperative Education programme which gives our undergraduates a fantastic opportunity to gain world-class experience at one of the world’s most innovative companies located here in Limerick.”
