There are a number of research projects and international collaborations on-going at the National Centre for Inherited Metabolic Disorders (NCIMD) at Temple Street Children's University Hospital (TSCUH) in Dublin. A number of interesting research topics are covered by these projects, including amino acid-related inborn metabolic disorders and other metabolic diseases in childhood (and beyond). NCIMD TSCUH is truly committed to the highest possible standard of patient care and engagement as well as international collaborative research activities.
