Clinical Chemistry MSc

 The Clinical Biochemistry Unit at Trinity is part of the School of Medicine and is Ireland’s only such facility. It is supported by the largest clinical biochemistry service in the country, with state-of-the-art clinical laboratories at Tallaght University Hospital, St. James’s Hospital, and Naas General Hospital.

Clinical Biochemistry is the discipline of pathology (or laboratory medicine) concerned with the detection and measurement of biochemical changes in disease. Clinical chemistry laboratories carry out a range of biochemical investigations in a complex automated working environment. In addition to routine diagnostic work, personnel are also frequently involved in clinical trials, audit and research and so require a detailed knowledge of the effects of disease on biochemical measurements.

This course provides in-depth training in the medical, scientific, and research aspects of clinical chemistry, as well as a unique training opportunity. Classes are small (usually not more than 12-15 students) so that individual attention is possible.
