Ireland East Hospital Group

The Ireland East Hospital Group (IEHG) is the largest and most complex of Ireland’s hospital groups. Comprising 11 hospitals (6 voluntary and 5 statutory), IEHG spans eight counties and works with four Community Health Organisation (CHO) partners. In collaboration with UCD, the academic partner, IEHG’s ambition is to be the national leader in healthcare delivery, working to improve the quality of healthcare and deliver better patient outcomes through education, training, research and innovation for the over 1 million people. 

Cancer Clinical Academic Directorate

The Cancer Clinical Academic Directorate is the first Clinical Academic Directorate developed in the Ireland East Hospital Group and was launched in June 2016 by IEHG CEO Mary Day and the Director of the National Cancer Control Programme Dr Jerome Coffey. The aim is to align the two cancer centres at the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital and St. Vincent’s University Hospital into a single function operating across two sites which will combine the strength and scale of clinical cancer services at both hospitals together with the cutting edge research of UCD to enhance the care given to cancer patients across our Group.

Centre for Synthesis & Chemical Biology 

The Centre for Synthesis & Chemical Biology (CSCB) is a collaboration in the chemical sciences between University College Dublin (UCD), Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI). The UCD centre forms part of the UCD Conway Institute of Biomolecular and Biomedical Research. The centre was established in December 2001 and officially opened by An Taoiseach, Mr Bertie Ahern TD on February 2, 2006. 

Research Programme

Chemical biology incorporates research that provides an understanding of the chemical basis of biology; development and use of biological tools for chemistry; development and use of chemical tools for biology and medicine. Within interdisciplinary research projects, the design, synthesis and analysis of components is carried out by investigators within the CSCB while biological testing is done in collaboration with colleagues within UCD Conway Institute. Expertise within the centre encompasses these areas with a specific emphasis in bioactive molecule design and synthesis; synthetic and biosynthetic methodology development, analytical, computational, structural and supramolecular chemistry. Specific areas of interest within the centre include: carbohydrates, combinatorial chemistry, natural products, enzyme mechanisms, enzymes in synthesis, asymmetric catalysis, medicinal chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, drug delivery, sensors and imaging.
