Six researchers at RCSI - funded for new research

Six researchers at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences have been awarded more than €2.5 million through the latest round of the Health Research Board (HRB) Investigator-Led Projects scheme.

The successful projects will advance research across epilepsy, osteoarthritis, breast cancer, mental health and emerging drug threats, with the potential to improve understanding of disease, patient care and health services.

The awards form part of a €12m HRB investment in 29 new investigator-led research projects across Ireland. Projects were selected by international expert panels based on scientific quality and innovation, impact, and the strength of the research team and environment, alongside a public review process to ensure the research addresses issues of importance to patients and the wider population.
