Members of the Oncology and Symptoms Research group are involved in research to identify the symptoms that may be experienced during and following treatment for cancer and associated blood biomarkers that may be associated with these symptoms. The Oncology and Symptoms Research Group is closely linked to the Biomedical Research Group (BRG). The BRG has evolved in South East Technological University (WIT) and is comprised of staff members from the School of Health Science and School of Science and associated medical clinicians in Waterford Regional Hospital (WRH). The BRG have been engaged in cancer, vascular health, diabetes and bone health research projects. Linked into the centre are researchers and research active clinicians in the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI and WRH a RCSI teaching hospital). The group have benefited greatly by working together, sharing core laboratory facilities, analytical expertise, student training opportunities and biomedical contacts.
