About this Event

The AICRIstart programme serves as a Foundation Stone for the All-Island Cancer Research Institute (AICRI) and is instrumental in building critical mass in Precision Cancer Medicine on the island of Ireland. Launched in 2022, AICRIstart connects ten academic institutions (UCD, TCD, RCSI, TU Dublin, DCU, QUB, UU, NUIG, UL, and UCC), with University College Dublin (UCD) serving as the administrative lead.

This training programme spans the island of Ireland, creating a network of excellence in cancer research. Over the past two years, AICRIstart has provided ten PhD students with an exceptional environment to lead innovative projects in precision cancer medicine, while supporting their mobility to collaborate with partnering institutions.

In 2024, the programme expanded to welcome a new cohort of post-doctoral fellows, further enhancing its impact. These post-docs are exploring cutting-edge topics such as immune exhaustion in cancer and liquid biopsy technologies, bringing fresh insights and strengthening AICRIstart’s mission.

Meet the New Generation of Cancer Researchers from Across the Island of Ireland
