Transforming clinical care, education and policy in women’s and reproductive health is the ambition of a new Irish transdisciplinary research centre.
The Trinity Centre for Reproductive Sciences and Women’s Health (TCRW) brings together more than 70 clinicians, scientists, social scientists and policy-relevant researchers across 20 disciplines at Trinity College Dublin and its clinical partners, including St James’s Hospital, Tallaght University Hospital, the Coombe Women and Infants University Hospital, and Children’s Health Ireland at Crumlin.
The initiative will create a coordinated research ecosystem spanning discovery science, clinical research and policy in addressing important evidence gaps in women’s and reproductive health.
The centre will be led by co-directors Prof Cliona O’Farrelly, Dr Lisa Owens and Dr Michelle Lavin.
