MMI Courses & Workshops

The MMI cross-institutional Courses & Workshops Programme, beginning in 2003 as a DMMC activity funded in PRTLI Cycle 3, has built on the research and teaching strengths of the partner institutions and the clinical expertise in the affiliated teaching hospitals. With the official launch of Molecular Medicine Ireland on 17 April 2008, we are bringing together the expertise of five institutions and their Medical Schools.

MMI Courses (lecture-based and practical courses of 3-35 contact hours) are designed specifically for a cross-institutional audience, are delivered by faculty from multiple institutions (including international keynote lecturers and industry representatives), and are coordinated via a dedicated administrative infrastructure, with a strong online presence and continual course development assisted by participant feedback. Courses have been specifically designed and delivered to make accessible various technologies, including proteomics and genomics; and to support translational research in various disease areas.

Over 50 DMMC/MMI Courses ran between December 2003 and December 2008. Details are in the Archive.
