The UCD Charles Institute of Dermatology marked its 10th anniversary this year (officially in September 2021.)
Named in honour of Dr Andrew Charles, founder of the City of Dublin Skin & Cancer Hospital (CDSCHC), the Institute was established via a philanthropic donation of €12M from the CDSCHC and €6M from UCD.
As the only dedicated academic centre for dermatology research and education on the island of Ireland, the Charles Institute works together with academic, industrial, and clinical partners in Ireland and beyond.
Under the direction of Professor Des Tobin, the Institute engages in research in skin health and disease and offers two education courses. To date the Institute has attracted almost €13M in research funding, published over 200 publications, trained almost 50 PhD students, and has graduated 285 students from its Professional Certificate in Clinical Dermatology.
