Centre For Applied Bioscience Research Cabr

Centre for Applied Bioscience Research (CABR)’s vision is to be a leading centre for the development and application of science and technology to applied settings, in collaboration with external organisations, and based on our own research. CABR is a Research Centre and part of the Enterprise Ireland Technology Gateway Programme. The Enterprise Ireland Technology Gateway Programme is co-financed by the Government of Ireland and the European Union through the ERDF Southern, Eastern & Midland Regional Programme 2021-27 and the Northern & Western Regional Programme 2021-27. CABR is a collaboration between the Munster Technological University and Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest. The Centre brings together a multidisciplinary team of researchers with commercial specialists so as to provide a centre of excellence in applied research, capable of exploiting opportunities in science and technology to the benefit of the Regional and National economy. CABR has developed significant expertise in bioresources – detection, identification, characterisation and valorisation – and collaborates with industry and other research centres in order to deliver this expertise in applied settings. CABR responds to the challenges of Biotech, Food and Life Science Industries through the sustainable development of viable and cost-effective processes and products from bio-resources. This development is driven through collaborative research and development, providing risk management and opportunity identification for our clients, partners and researchers.
