RCSI Research Institute
The institute's mission is to integrate basic and clinical research, so that advances in medical science are translated as quickly as possible into patient treatments. This is achieved by bringing together basic and clinical researchers from various collaborating institutions to share the advanced facilities. The RCSI Research Institute is a multi-site research infrastructure encompassing the research activities of RCSI at the St Stephen's Green campus and the RCSI Education and Research Centre (ERC) at Beaumont Hospital. The research activities of RCSI Research Institute are sustained by an integrated research infrastructure consisting of a network of research centres and core facilities in peptide synthesis and labelling, solid phase chemistry, mass spectrometry, proteomics, clinical research and biobanking, molecular, live cellular and human imaging.
