The Boyne Research Institute is a community-based, not-for-profit, research
facility established in Drogheda, Ireland, in 1992.
The mission of the Boyne Research Institute includes both research and
education. Our research mandate covers studies into the causes and prevention
of birth defects in families and the long-term complications of cancer
during childhood and adolescence.
Birth defects are not just numbers, but crippling diseases that can be
prevented. Boyne Research Institute works at the international, national,
and community levels to ensure that babies are born as
healthy as they can be.
Cancer during childhood is a tragedy
for families, but the good news is that most children with cancer will
be cured of their original disease. However, the complications of cancer
and its treatment can be long lasting. As new types of cancer treatment
are developed, survivors with these treatments need long-term follow-up
to ensure their optimal health.
