DMMC News

DMMC News is a forum for the molecular medicine research community in Dublin to present the latest developments of interest to a local and international audience. DMMC News is circulated widely in Dublin and to contacts further afield; it is also available to all from the DMMC website.

DMMC News is an opportunity to present research news, in the context of the developing cross-institutional collaborative environment, to fellow scientists and clinicians, funding agencies, government bodies, and the public. DMMC News also contains reviews of past events and listings of forthcoming events (seminars, meetings, courses and workshops). Contact info@dmmc.ie to contribute to future issues.
