Innovations for Peace and Development

Innovations for Peace and Development (IPD) was established in January 2013 to produce and disseminate rigorous, policy relevant research to promote innovations in global peace and development. UT students are at the heart of our work, and thus our mission is also to provide research, internship and fellowship opportunities for undergraduates and graduate students from across UT to empower them to engage in scholarship and practice that will make a real difference in the world. We also work directly with international organizations, developing country governments, universities and civil society groups to generate and test new ideas that will change the way peace and development are pursued, evaluated and sustained.

APC Microbiome Institute

The APC Microbiome Institute (http://apc.ucc.ie) is an internationally renowned research institute which explores the role of the microbiome (microbiological community) in health and disease. The scale and scope of microbiome research has become one of the fastest moving areas of biology, of relevance to all branches of human medicine and veterinary science, and is of growing importance to the economic welfare of society. The APC has created a trans-disciplinary environment conducive to innovation with a mission to link Irish science with industry and society through excellence in research, education and outreach. Our institute is a partnership between University College Cork, Teagasc Food Research Centre and the Cork and Mercy University Hospitals, and is home to a team of over 300 researchers and clinicians. The APC collaborates with over 25 national and international industry partners from the food, agriculture, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and diagnostic sectors. APC research focuses on mining the microbiota to identify products (probiotic strains, metabolites, phage, prebiotics, anti-microbials etc) that can promote health and help prevent disease. This is of relevance to many populations, such as infants, athletes and elderly, and very relevant to disorders such as obesity, cardiovascular health, inflammation and colon cancer. The APC Microbiome Institute operates in the functional food and pharmaceutical sectors, developing food and pharma solutions targeting the gut microbiota for health promotion throughout life.
