A NEW hub to bring cutting-edge science to businesses nationwide, in partnership with a Limerick university, has officially launched.
The Centre for Applied Bioscience Research (CABR), formerly known as Shannon ABC, has launched, marking a joint partnership between the Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) and Munster Technological University (MTU) in Cork.
The centre aims to be a leading hub for transforming cutting-edge science and technology into real-world applications.
CABR aims to help businesses the length and breadth of the country solve scientific and technical challenges, partnering with food, biotech, and life science companies.
Marina Donohoe, divisional manager of research and innovation at Enterprise Ireland, said that the centre’s rebrand reflects the role that it plays in innovation.
“We are thrilled to celebrate the rebranding of Shannon ABC to the Centre for Applied Bioscience Research. This new name reflects the centre’s pivotal role in advancing innovation and addressing the complex scientific and technical challenges faced by Irish businesses,” she said.
“CABR continues to be a cornerstone of the Enterprise Ireland Technology Gateway Network, offering cutting-edge expertise, state-of-the-art equipment, and a dedicated team that empowers companies to bring innovative solutions to life.”
Dr Tim Yeomans, Centre Manager at the newly-launched Centre for Applied Bioscience Research, said that “Shannon ABC has been a fundamental support for hundreds of companies across Ireland for the past 16 years, the re-naming to the Centre for Applied Bioscience Research will provide a great springboard to support hundreds more”.
