With more than 200 postgraduate researchers working towards MSc, PhD, or MD qualifications, the School fosters cutting-edge investigations.
The School of Medicine concentrates its research efforts across six key domains: Cancer Studies, Genetic Research, Infectious Diseases and Immunology, Molecular Medicine, Neuroscience, and Public Health.
Investigations occur across our affiliated teaching hospitals such as St James's Hospital, Tallaght University Hospital's Trinity Centre, and St Patrick's Hospital. A strong focus lies on Translational Research, bridging laboratory breakthroughs with clinical applications to enhance patient care. The Trinity Translational Medicine Institute at St James's serves as a hub for this transformative research. Additional studies take place in advanced facilities on Trinity's main campus, including the Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute and the Trinity College Institute for Neuroscience.
