The Centre for Synthesis and Chemical Biology was established in Dublin in December 2001.
The Centre is collaboration in the chemical sciences between University College Dublin (UCD), Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI). The UCD centre forms part of the UCD Conway Institute of Biomolecular and Biomedical Research.
The CSCB aims to make a significant contribution to teaching and learning at all levels of the three collaborating universities
The CSCB is mainly engaged in research work.
Research Program
The centre encompasses these areas of research with a specific emphasis in
