Proud to announce today that the University of Limerick and UPMC will work together to advance knowledge and understanding on the treatment of concussion.
The Irish Rugby Injury Surveillance (IRIS) project based at UL, together with UPMC, have agreed on a new strategic research partnership that ultimately aims to increase understanding of concussion and its treatment to enhance player health and welfare.
The partnership will involve the appointment and full funding of a PhD Scholar who will split their research time between the Sport and Human Performance Research Centre in UL under the direction of Dr. Tom Comyns, Professor Ian Kenny, and Dr. John Mulvihill, and UPMC Pittsburgh under the guidance of internationally renowned experts in sports-related concussions, Dr. Michael Collins and Dr. Anthony Kontos.
