In addition to conducting research in advanced NMR studies ithis research centre supports and collaborates on research across the Department of Science along with external research groups in local industry and academic institutions. It is led by three academics themselves very active in synthetic and analytical research in Chemistry and has links with NUI Maynooth through a collaborating academic staff researcher there. Prior to its establishment its members collectively had secured over €1 million in grant funding, supervised over 30 postgraduate students, and had 50 publications and 80 conference presentations.
