Accessibility & LanguageBasic and Translational Research
Basic Research
Basic research is scientific research to better understand fundamental molecular and cellular biology. Basic research generates new ideas, principles, and theories, which may not be immediately utilised, but can form the basis of scientific progress and development.
Apoptosis Research Centre
The Apoptosis Research Centre (ARC) is the only cell death research centre in Ireland. The goal of the centre is to understand how cancer cells have adapted to promote their own survival, and using this knowledge, to uncover new ways to combat cancer progression. ARC is led by Prof Afshin Samali and is based in the Biomedical Science Building on the north campus. It is also a partner centre in Precision Oncology Ireland.
Centre for Chromosome Biology
The Centre for Chromosome Biology (CCB) at University of Galway hosts an interactive network of researchers investigating topics linked to the biology of genomes. CCB is led by Prof Noel Lowndes and is based in the Biomedical Science Building on the north campus.
Translational Research
Translational research is research that has the potential to translate, or convert, knowledge from biomedical laboratory science into solutions that have clinical relevance, e.g clinical trials of drugs, medical technologies, diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers.
