Research Programmes - General
The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland
Dublin City University (DCU) will contribute through its unique graduate training programme in Target-driven Therapeutics and Theranostics (T3)
The T3 programme incorporates first class teaching with cutting-edge research. We provide a multidisciplinary academic and research programme for training students towards a PhD in the expanding field of therapeutics. The goal of the T3 programme is to graduate PhDs with the skills necessary to lead
- Neuroscience
- Immunology
- Epithelial/endothelial cells
- Drug targeting and Optimization
- Cell Communication and Theranostics.
Each stream focuses on a small number of well-defined drug targets with which DCU faculty have extensive experience.T3 post-doctoral fellows appointed to each stream foster collaborative therapeutic research amongst DCU Faculty.
To ensure the best possible training and research additional capacity is also being added under the BPS at DCU in the following areas:
- National Drug Screening Facility
- Bio-Resource Unit
- GMP Facility
- Tissue Culture Facility
- Diffractometer Facility
Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) has research expertise in natural products chemistry, anti-cancer drug design and synthesis, enzymology and biotechnology and will contribute through its MSc/Diploma in Chemical Enzymology
Trinity College Dublin (TCD) will contribute to the BPS NGEP through the CSCB and Dublin Chemistry
TCD provides research expertise in the areas of:
- Medicinal Chemistry
