Trinity researchers secure government funding for next generation therapies for incurable cancers
Researchers at the Trinity Translational Medicine Institute (TTMI) are part of a successful consortium to secure €6.8M government funding as part of a 3-year, €10.5M programme to develop next generation cell therapies for cancer.
The HEALED consortium is one of 29 projects that the government has funded under the Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund (DTIF) which is managed and funded through the Department of Enterprise and Innovation (DBEI) in Ireland.
The research team at TTMI at St James’s Hospital have partnered with RemedyBio, aCGT Vector DAC and the SFI Centre for Research Training (CRT) in Genomics Data Science at NUIG to create the HEALED Consortium
Congratulations, you recently became one of the first women in Ireland to be a full professor in statistics Thank you. My friend and colleague Prof Norma Bargary in the University of Limerick also became a professor of statistics recently, so we celebrated jointly. Iâm hugely grateful for all the mentors who have helped me along the way and the opportunities I have had.
I also feel profound sadness that many capable women were born in different times, when these opportunities were not as available for them. I would like to hope that things are changing. We need more diverse voices, so research can be informed by many different views.
