A celebration of research excellence and multidisciplinary collaboration between scientists and clinicians across the School of Medicine is reflected in the 2024 edition of the Trinity School of Medicine Annual Overview of Doctoral Health Research 2024.
The 2024 report showcases key projects such as cytokine-induced memory-like NK cell therapies for oesophageal cancer, immunothrombosis in tuberculosis, engineered bacteriophages to combat uropathogenic E. coli, batch-correction methods for digital pathology AI, and health systems workforce research on the National Oral Health Policy. It also includes a special Doctorate in Medicine case story on Asclepiades of Bithynia’s medical molecular theory and historical perspectives on mental healthcare.
