THE CITY OF DUBLIN SKIN & CANCER HOSPITAL CHARITY

Following the closure of Hume Street Hospital in 2006, the Charity has adhered to the ethos and tradition established by its founder Andrew Charles a century earlier. In keeping with the principles of translational medicine to bring diagnostic and treatment discoveries from the “bench-to-the bedside”, the Charity has supported research into skin diseases and ways of maintaining skin health, as well as providing facilities to improve the delivery of dermatological services in Ireland
