    Research Institutes and Centres Staff with an affiliation to a research institute/centre are listed under their respective school or department. Trinity Research Institutes CENTRE FOR RESEARCH ON ADAPTIVE NANOSTRUCTURES AND NANODEVICES (CRANN) The Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices (CRANN) comprises a team of three hundred researchers from over forty-five different countries, led by eighteen principal investigators and seventeen investigators, each of whom is an internationally recognised expert in his/her field of research. CRANN principal investigators are based across multiple disciplines including physics, chemistry, medicine, biochemistry and immunology, engineering and pharmacy. CRANN works at the frontiers of nanoscience developing new knowledge of nanoscale chemical and physical phenomena, with a particular focus on new device and sensor technologies for the ICT, biotechnology and medical sectors. CRANN has two state-of-the-art buildings both custom designed and constructed for the purpose of leading edge nanoscience research. The Naughton Institute is a 6000m2 research facility on the campus of TCD. The CRANN Advanced Microscopy Laboratory (AML) was completed in 2009. This facility on Pearse Street houses Ireland’s most advanced microscopy instrumentation, enabling Ireland to compete internationally in this capability. Through the SFI funded Centre for Science, Engineering and Technology (CSET), CRANN had a specific remit to work with industry. This lead to CRANN leading the €58 million AMBER (Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research) centre award, where TCD, UCC, and RCSI researchers partner with industry to collaboratively address materials related research programs.
