Welcome to Oncology/Radiation Therapy

The Academic Unit of Clinical and Molecular Oncology (AUCMO) is an integral part of the Faculty of Health Sciences at Trinity College Dublin (TCD). The establishment of the unit in 2004 reflected the important multidisciplinary nature of modern cancer treatment and the significant investment in oncology education and research within TCD and its associated hospitals.  The AUCMO unifies significant elements of both TCD and hospital-based activity, in particular the integration of academic activities within the departments of Radiation Oncology and Medical Oncology.  The TCD Division of Radiation Therapy and the Institute of Molecular Medicine Cancer Research Laboratory are also integral components of the AUCMO.  

The AUCMO comprises a critical mass of cancer specialists together with the necessary educational and research support to ensure that the patients, clinical staff, undergraduate and postgraduate students derive the maximum benefit from a unified research and clinical department on the same campus. 

Specialists within the unit have additional commitments to a wide range of hospitals including St. James’s Hospital, St. Luke’s Hospital, the Adelaide and Meath Hospitals incorporating the National Children’s Hospital (AMNCH), Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children, the Coombe Women’s Hospital, and hospitals within the Midland Health, as well as the HRB-funded Cancer Clinical Trials Unit based at St Luke’s Hospital and the Institute of Molecular Medicine (IMM).
