Trinity's Research Portfolio

Trinity has a set of Research Themes encompassing the areas below:

Ageing research at Trinity College Dublin aims to support dissemination and application, in imaginative ways, to stakeholders of the evidence that will allow us to meet the challenges associated with population ageing and to unlock the longevity dividend

Integrated multidisciplinary research towards understanding, intervention and prevention of this pervasive disease
This research integrates the creative arts and technology and builds on strengths in both to define activities in multimedia, gaming, content and production
A convergence of science and the humanities, translating established humanities investigative techniques into new technologies with wider application
Research across the Arts & Humanities, exploring how individual, cultural, social and political identities evolve and change in an Irish, European and global context
Research in molecular and cellular biology, target identification and validation, drug design and exemplification challenge the signalling pathways of the human immune response
Research in understanding human well-being and who is responsible for delivering it
This research focuses on the innovation and impact in technologies to enhance human communication and their interaction with digital content
Examines the research challenges of the developing world and explores the opportunities for establishment of new markets and responsible transfer of technologies to these regions
This theme addresses the process of globalization as enacted via flows of capital, ideas, investment, people and trade, the institutions and governance related to those flows and the ongoing integration of markets and states
This theme addresses the fundamental role of mathematics as the cornerstone of the methods used to understand and model multiscale complex systems in physical, biological and social sciences
This area seeks to understand matter on the scale of individual atoms and molecules, with impact on technology for both the Information, Communications and Technology sector as well as the Biotechnology sectors
Neuroscience's research incorporates research on cognitive function and on neurodegeneration and addresses many of the major health issues in the currently aging population
Pre-clinical translation of research prototypes to practice, towards delivery of next generation of implants and devices, including bio-orthopaedics, neural-engineering, drug-eluting stents, implants and biomechanics
This research addresses all facets of information, supply chain, energy, demographic & socio-economic flux in the modern metropolis.
Energy, ecology, transport & the environment augmented though inclusion of energy economics, engineering the built environment and ecological/environmental histories
This research area integrates multiple disciplines aligned to telecommunications research and has a large industry engagement
