Charles Institute, University College Dublin

The Charles Institute of Dermatology will be a facility for research and training in dermatology that will become a national and European centre of excellence. It will attract world leaders in dermatology and will lead to better patient care through the discovery of new treatments and therapies. The new building will also host Systems Biology, which will combine expertise in systems engineering, mathematical and computational approaches with state of the art technology platforms. The focus is on biotherapeutics and will harness the knowledge to develop novel approaches for drug target identification, personalised medicine and toxicity profiles.
