The RCSI Department of Molecular Medicine (www.rcsi.ie/molmed )is based at Beaumont Hospital, Dublin. The modern laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities in molecular biology, genetic manipulation, bioinformatics and proteomics, molecular and cellular imaging, electrophysiology and cell culture. Translational Research in the Department involves clinicians and scientists in areas of oncology, endocrinology, respiratory medicine, renal physiology and inflammatory disease.
The major research focus is on endocrine-modulated disease such as estrogen-dependent cancers (breast, ovarian, colon, lung), estrogen modulated respiratory disease (Cystic Fibrosis Gender Gap), and aldosterone modulated renal function (hypertension) and their genetic and molecular basis with the aim to identify novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets. The hospital location makes the department ideal for training clinician PhDs.
