G.M.I. Research Group
The UCD Clinical Research Centre is developing a portfolio of research collaborations in partnership with Genomics Medicine Ireland (GMI). This collaboration agreement is part of a large scale population research programme across many diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease and Alzheimer’s disease in Ireland.
Genomics research has the potential to transform healthcare by providing a greater understanding of the role a person’s genes, behaviors and environment plays in their general health. This knowledge is critical for the development of new drugs to combat common complex disease in addition to personalised medical care tailored to the individual.
The research teams in the CRC and GMI will focus on uncovering novel biology that translate in to new precision therapies and treatments to benefit patients.
