Organisation profile

The Health and Biomedical Strategic Research Centre (HEAL) will, through undertaking transformative health and biomedical research, innovation and discovery, and training of the next generation of scientists and engineers, support the translation of knowledge and innovation for better health and societal outcomes in Ireland and beyond. 

To be recognised nationally and internationally as a high-quality, research-driven centre of excellence, translating interdisciplinary knowledge and innovations to industry and clinical practice with patient and public involvement and engagement, with the ultimate goal of improving healthcare and health outcomes for society.  

The HEAL Strategic Research Centre (SRC) will focus on improving health and wellbeing at the individual and societal level as well as advocating for patient-centred research and health improvement strategies in national policy development and implementation. The aims will be achieved by building on the research strengths of those across IT Sligo and their partners in the Connaught Ulster Alliance (CUA) and harnessing the capacity that has been developed over the last few years in this area as the Institute progresses to a Technological University. The SRC will continuously develop postgraduates capable of addressing regional, national and international healthcare challenges focusing on multi-disciplinary health and biomedical research programmes. The HEAL SRC will work across four pillars listed below.
