Irish university receives grant for brain aneurysm research

NEW techniques being developed at the University of Limerick are helping surgeons deal with complicated procedures such as brain aneurysms.

The Centre for Applied Biomedical Engineering Research (CABER) at UL was awarded a €100,000 grant as part of a €2.5 million programme of research on aneurysm behaviour.

The grant was given by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a state body in the US and one of the world’s foremost medical research centres.
