Qatar University (QU) has launched a new Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research Unit (BPRU) under QU Health, to provide closer alignment and integration of health research sector at QU with the aim to create a dynamic and diverse environment that embraces qualified experts in health care professional education and practice. QU Health also includes College of Medicine, College of Pharmacy, College of Health Sciences, and the recently established College of Dental Medicine.
The BPRU brings together researchers from several colleges forming multidisciplinary research teams that share resources and infrastructure. In this ever changing environment of global research landscape, universities are adapting to forming theme-based interdisciplinary structures, where researchers that are sharing common vision and interests collaborate across organisational work at different science disciplines’ boundaries. In terms of educational strategy, one of the scopes of the BPRU is to give emphasis on the establishment of interdisciplinary disease-based graduate programmes.
