The Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute (TBSI) has created 119 jobs for researchers over the past two years and partnered with 76 companies to undertake research in a number of areas.
The Pearse-Street based institute, which houses a Centre of Cancer Drug Discovery, an Immunology Research Centre and a Centre for Bioengineering and Medical Device Technologies, also said it had raised €36 million for interdisciplinary research.
In a progress report issued on Friday, the institute, which employs more than 500 researchers, said three-spin out companies involved in drug discovery and development, and cancer treatment had also been established since it opened in 2011.
The institute said researchers had published seven articles about breakthroughs in areas such as inflammatory diseases and membrane proteins in the scientific journal Nature over the past two years.
"TBSI is an excellent example of the kind of scientific and economic impact that can be achieved when we match great researchers with great facilities, and support them with investment drawn from public and private sources," said Prof Vinny Cahill, Trinity's Dean of Research.
