The Academic Department of Rheumatology in Tallaght Hospital has an active research program which is well suited to the pursuit of academic medical PhD projects. We are engaged in an ongoing HRB-funded program investigating the mechanisms of immune-metabolism in inflammatory arthritis, and have an established programme of ongoing musculoskeletal ultrasound research.
The department’s clinical facilities include a bone and joint unit containing a dedicated rheumatology procedure suite for synovial biopsy & tissue sampling, and a state-of-the-art suite of ultrasound equipment used both for daily clinical practice and research purposes. For our translational research work, we routinely collect and store synovial tissue, synovial fluid and peripheral blood cells, DNA and RNA samples taken from patients with inflammatory arthritis. We have an on-site research tissue culture and wet-lab facility. Our medical researchers are supported by an on-site laboratory manager, a post-doctoral scientist and through collaborative partnerships with Rheumatology and Immunology researchers based at the Trinity Biological Sciences Institute, Trinity College Dublin and beyond.
