Nanoscience gets funding
New Jobs in Irish Nanoscience Research?
Nanoscience research institute CRANN is to create new jobs in Research & Development, leading research projects including cancer research and computer chips.
The majority of these seventeen newly created positions are to be in the Institute of Molecular Medicine and TCD School of Medicine in conjunction with CRANN. This particular team will be aiming at nanomedical technology in the early diagnosis of cancer.
The remaining 5 positions are to be with Intel as CRANN focuses on developing computer chips for the next generation.
Professor John Boland, Director of CRANN says “Ireland is now globally recognised for it’s expertise in the area of nanoscience, as evidenced by the large amounts of non-exchequer funding we are winning through competitive international research projects.” He goes on to say “Research is a global competition and we need to contuinue to develop our knowledge base and expertise to make Ireland a true innovation centre”
The investment was seen as a “huge vote of confidence” by Professor Dermot Kelleher of TCD School of Medicine.
