About Us The Smurfit Institute of Genetics is an academic unit of Trinity College Dublin. The Smurfit Institute and the Moyne Institute of Preventive Medicine together comprise the School of Genetics and Microbiology, which is part of the Faculty of Science. The Smurfit Institute has a very collegial atmosphere with a diverse group of faculty, researchers, and students from over thirty countries. The research and teaching in Genetics encompass and integrate molecular, cellular, developmental, behavioural, medical, population and quantitative genetics and evolution. We are a research-led institute. Our objective is to conduct the highest quality research and to publish it in high impact journals. The research atmosphere sets the tone and the standards for all of our other activities. The high quality of our teaching derives directly from our research activity and output. The fact that more than 75% of our graduates proceed to higher degrees, primarily by research, attests to the powerful impact of the research ethos generated in the Smurfit Institute. Our building was opened in 1998 and has state-of-the-art research facilities. We have an international reputation for world class research, reflected in an outstanding record of publication and funding. As such, the Smurfit Institute provides a superb environment in which to do research, and an undergraduate education and research training of recognised quality. Graduates of our B.A. (mod.) degrees in Genetics and Human Genetics have gone on to careers in diverse fields, many in science or areas related to it. These include academic research and teaching, the ever-growing field of biotechnology, agriculture, forensics, journalism, patent law, governmental organisations and many more. For those who choose a nonscientific career, the skills of critical thinking and problem-solving provided by the Moderatorships in Genetics and Human Genetics are in high demand in all fields.

AN SCOIL GÉINEOLAÍOCHTA AGUS MICRIBHITHEOLAIOCHTA In 2005 a bunaíodh an Scoil Géineolaíochta agus Micribhitheolaíochta agus tá sí tiomanta freastal ar an gColáiste agus ar an bpobal níos leithne. Déantar diantaighde sa Scoil agus tá cáil mhór uirthi go hidirnáisiúnta maidir lena bhfuil bainte amach aici go scolártha. Díríonn an Scoil ar oideachas dochtúireachta ag an leibhéal iarchéime agus cuireann trí chúrsa fochéime ar fáil freisin. Faoin iontráil Eolaíocht ghinearálta (cód TR071 na Lároifige Iontrála [CAO]) a thagann mic léinn a thugann faoi chéimeanna i nGéineolaíocht nó i Micribhitheolaíocht isteach sa Choláiste. Caitheann na mic léinn sin dhá bhliain i mbun cúrsaí eolaíochta ginearálta (ar a dtugtar An Chéad Bhliain Shóisearach agus Shinsearach) sula roghnaíonn siad dhá bhliain Sofaistí sa Scoil i mbun Géineolaíochta nó Micribhitheolaíochta. Trí iontráil dhíreach a thugtar faoi chéim i nGéineolaíocht an Duine (cód CAO TR073) agus glactar le mic léinn sa Chéad Bhliain Shóisearach nó díreach ón meánscoil. Tá an Scoil lonnaithe in dhá fhoirgneamh ar leithligh, gach ceann acu a tógadh le deonúcháin phríobháideacha. Is in Institiúid Moyne do Mhíochaine Choisctheach atá Roinn na Micribhitheolaíochta lonnaithe agus tá Roinn na Géineolaíochta lonnaithe in Institiúid Smurfit. Tá saotharlanna taighde nua-aimseartha agus spásanna teagaisc sa dá fhoirgneamh chomh maith le tacaíocht taighde agus feidhmeanna riaracháin.
