Welcome to the School of Biochemistry and Immunology

The School was formed in 2005 as a result of restructuring in Trinity College Dublin, and comprises the 2 disciplines of Biochemistry and Immunology. We are a dynamic research-led School, with extensive undergraduate and post-graduate teaching programmes.

In Research there are currently 21 research laboratories in the School, with a total level of research funding of €34m.  The areas of research in Biochemistry include Enzymology, Folic Acid Biochemistry, Structural Biology, Neurochemistry, Molecular Parasitology and Energy Transduction.  In Immunology we are active in Immunoregulation, Immunomodulation, Cell signalling in immunity and inflammation, Immunoparasitology, Innate Immunity and Inflammation, and Viral subversion of Immunity.  We have a total equipment base of over €20m, with all the major technologies in Biochemistry and Immunology available.

In Teaching, we teach science, pharmacy and medical undergraduates.  We provide 4 degree programmes, in Biochemistry with Structural Biology, Biochemistry with Cell Biology, Biochemistry with Immunology and Molecular Medicine.  We currently have over 40 students registered for PhDs.
