About Us

The Trinity St James’s Cancer Institute (TSJCI) is a joint initiative of St James’s Hospital (SJH), Ireland’s largest hospital, and Trinity College Dublin (TCD), Ireland’s premier university in collaboration with our colleagues in St Luke’s Radiation Oncology Network (SLRON). In 2019, TSJCI was designated as a Cancer Centre by the Organisation of European Cancer Institutes (OECI), the first in Ireland. The TSJCI is formally constituted under a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the institutions, agreed and signed by the CEO of St James’s Hospital and the Provost of Trinity College Dublin in June 2021.
