Principal Investigators

The Founding Principal Investigators of 4i represent three of the four Faculties in UL, namely Education and Health Sciences, Science and Engineering, and the Kemmy Business School.  This list will be further as the centre promotes its agenda across UL and the affiliated clinical sites. 4i will provide opportunities for interested investigators to become part of the initiative.
The Centre aligns with the University of Limerick Strategic Plan 2011-2015 – “Pioneering and Connected” as it specifically targets identification and support of (existing and future) health-oriented researchers, coherent aggregation of core/priority interdisciplinary research activities in related fields; support for the development of a quality research training environment; and intensive search for external research funding.
