Dublin Molecular Medicine Centre (DMMC) was set up in 2002, as a registed charity, to create critical mass in molecular medicine research in Dublin, Ireland. Funding was provided by the Higher Education Authority.
The objective of this initiative is to create an internationally recognised centre of research excellence by 2010. DMMC is owned jointly by the city's three premier biomedical research institutions : University College Dublin (UCD), the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) and Trinity College, Dublin (TCD). Strategic links are likely to be fostered with University College Cork and National University of Ireland, Galway to create a nationwide platform as the European Union launches the Seventh Framework Programme.

Famous quotes containing the words medicine and/or centre:
“Hygiene is the corruption of medicine by morality. It is impossible to find a hygienest who does not debase his theory of the healthful with a theory of the virtuous.... The true aim of medicine is not to make men virtuous; it is to safeguard and rescue them from the consequences of their vices.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“To make our idea of morality centre on forbidden acts is to defile the imagination and to introduce into our judgments of our fellow-men a secret element of gusto.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
