Medicine:Dublin Molecular Medicine Centre
From HandWiki
Dublin Molecular Medicine Centre (DMMC) was a charity set up in 2002, to create critical mass in molecular medicine research in Dublin, Ireland. Funding was provided by the Higher Education Authority.[1]
Resources
The academic resources supporting the teaching hospitals include:
- UCD Conway Institute of Biomolecular & Biomedical Research[2] which is organised into 3 interactive multi-disciplinary centres : synthesis and chemical biology; integrative biology and molecular medicine.
- RCSI Research Institute[3] whose portfolio included cellular neuroscience, molecular research, advanced drug delivery, proteomics and pharmacy.
- TCD Institute of Molecular Medicine[4] focuses on cancer (prostate, haematological, esophageal, cervical, thoracic), infection and immunity (tuberculosis); genomic research into inflammatory disease, molecular histopathology, cell signalling, neuropsychiatric genetics and nutrigenomics.
New Clinical Research Centre
DMMC secured funding from the Wellcome Trust for a major clinical research centre to be led by Professor Dermot P. Kelleher for Dublin comprising two elements:
- A new research centre at St. James's Hospital, Dublin.[5]
- A network of new clinical research facilities linking the proposed new centre to existing centres at Beaumont Hospital, Dublin,[6] St. Vincent’s University Hospital Dublin and Mater Misericordiae University Hospital
Successor
Dublin Molecular Medicine Centre evolved to become Molecular Medicine Ireland which was established in 2008.[7]
