In terms of developing an integrated national research program in vascular disease, RCSI has recently established an Irish Centre for Vascular Biology. The ICVB already includes more than 100 clinical and basic scientist principal investigators who are spread across all of the major academic teaching hospitals and universities in Ireland. The overall objective of the ICVB is to develop an integrated network of research groups across Ireland engaged in vascular research. This will include both Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland, and span and unite basic science and clinical research in order to achieve a collective critical mass. The ICVB will serve as a platform to enable a national translational research program focused on delivering novel therapeutics, diagnostics, devices and improvements in clinical management for patients with vascular disease. Within RCSI, there are a number of established PIs already working in vascular biology. These include Prof. O Donnell (Director of ICVB); Prof Dermot Kenny; Prof Niamh Moran; Prof Dermot Cox; Prof Steve Kerrigan; Dr Roger Preston and Dr Marian Brennan.
