The University’s new School of Medicine Building is to be built on the south campus, a short distance from the Quadrangle, where it will join the Block E building, a protected structure of historical and architectural significance.

The investment was announced by Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD, as part of a €75million capital programme which is being made available through the Healthcare Education Activation Programme (HEAP) under Project Ireland 2040.
We are delighted to welcome the award of @gov.ie Government funding to progress the development of a new School of Medicine Building and support the expansion of healthcare education.

The European Research Council Proof of Concept scheme is funded under Horizon Europe, the EU’s framework programme for research and innovation. It provides grants to existing ERC grant holders to bridge the gap between pioneering research and early-stage commercial or societal application. #ERCPoC
The research is led by Professor Martin OHalloran Principal Investigator in the College of Medicine Nursing and Health Sciences and Executive Director of the BioInnovate Programme at University of Galway.
The second project is Uro-Lieve, a minimally invasive, biodegradable capsaicin hydrogel designed to selectively silence pain fibres as a therapy for relief from symptoms of painful bladder syndrome, known as interstitial cystitis. The new approach avoids the severe burning of current treatments.
This 3D printing project is led by Professor Ted Vaughan, Director of the Institute for Health Discovery and Innovation and Professor of Biomedical Engineering, alongside Dr Mahtab Vafaeefar, Postdoctoral Researcher in Biomedical Engineering at University of Galway.
One project will advance an innovative software platform that enables engineers to design lighter, stronger, and more efficient components optimised for 3D printing - additive manufacturing - across biomedical, automotive and aerospace applications.
They are among 136 projects across Europe which have been awarded ERC Proof of Concept grants to explore how scientific results can move towards practical application or early commercial use.
Congratulations to two researchers at University of Galway who have secured prestigious funding support through the European Research Council (ERC) to progress projects on next-generation 3D printing and hydrogel pain relief therapy. 🙌

Support is available through AdVIC, a charity and advocacy group which supports families of victims of homicide. Visit www.advic.ie/contact or email info@advic.ie.
Confidential staff support is available through the Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) www.universityofgalway.ie/human-resour...
The project is also supported by Government with a €15 million capital grant through the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science under the Higher Education Strategic Infrastructure Fund (HESIF) and the Higher Education Authority.
The announcement of the Dr Karen Guinee Library follows a significant philanthropic gift from the Michael Guinee Charitable Foundation, which is also supporting the establishment of a new scholarship for medical students in memory of Dr Guinee.
It is with great pride that we announce our new Library is to be named in memory of Dr Karen Guinee, a medicine graduate of University of Galway, who died in 2006. She is remembered as a gifted and compassionate alumna who completed her education and training as a doctor with distinction.
University of Galway is proud to be part of this research collaboration with @maynoothuniversity.ie and the National Suicide Research Foundation.🧠
