Research Support

Dr Patricia Doherty obtained her PhD from University College Dublin, where she worked in translational breast cancer research. Following a period of postdoctoral research (at the University of Western Ontario, Canada and UCD) and industry research (Randox), she moved into research management and support. She has 8 years experience working across all funding bodies, supporting researchers in driving their research agenda and growing their teams by securing grants from national, European and international agencies. Her goal is to develop and implement systems and approaches that facilitate the sustainability of cancer-related research funding into the future, by bringing people together and enabling patient-centric, interdisciplinary applications. Along with being the local coordinator of the Organisation of European Cancer Institutes accreditation process, she also is a member of the OECI Accreditation Committee and acts as an auditor for other cancer centres.
