The Trinity Academic Medical Centre which is at the planning stage aims to combine best practice in patient care with cutting edge research and teaching in a single governance model based on world‐leading healthcare centres. Similarly, TCD’s major research institutes and centres in areas such as neuroscience, globalisation, immunology, molecular medicine and the Trinity Long Room Hub for the arts and humanities are firmly established among the international leaders in their fields. Trinity is actively involved in significant national collaborative research ventures such as the National Digital Research Centre (NDRC), Molecular Medicine Ireland (MMI) and the National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT).
