The Qatar Biomedical Research Institute (QBRI) at Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) is collaborating with Qatar University (QU) to help advance its capacity to conduct high-quality and innovative biomedical research in Qatar, in line with its commitment to improving and transforming health care across the country.
Collaboration will allow QU to use the core services of QBRI to facilitate access to advanced analysis locally, which will help QU conduct more advanced research. As a result, QU will be able to perform biomedical analysis in Qatar without the need to send samples overseas. In parallel, the partnership will support graduate students of the QU and enable them to access the advanced core laboratories of QBRI, conduct advanced biomedical research and obtain more analytical options.
The services provided by QBRI include but are not limited to genomics, structural biology, flow cytometry, stem cells and proteomics. This collaboration will enhance interaction between researchers from both entities and pave the way for future cooperation between the two entities on research projects.
Dr Omar El Agnaf, executive director of QBRI, said: “In keeping with the wider HBKU community, QBRI focuses on developing partnerships with similar organisations. To this end, the affinities between QU and ourselves are obvious. Both institutions aim to improve the health and well-being of the people of Qatar and the wider region. This requires consistent access to state-of-the-art research facilities designed specifically to make breakthrough discoveries in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases.”
“We are therefore pleased to provide QU with laboratory services and facilities at such an important time for the health of the nation. Both organisations are confident that we can learn from each other’s core strengths and specialties and build on our partnership in the years ahead.”
Prof Egon Toft, vice-president of Medical and Health Sciences and Dean of the College of Medicine at Qatar University, said: “QU is committed to fostering its relationship with partners in Qatar. Research is essential for QU Health to foster new scientific efforts in the region; furthermore, with the help of HBKU, QU can create ever-changing synergies that will serve the nation.”
The collaboration is part of a recently signed agreement between QBRI and QU.
