Helping to improve the effectiveness of healthcare and the quality of life.
Qatar Biomedical Research Institute (QBRI) is a leading research institute under Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU). QBRI aims to improve and transform healthcare in Qatar through discoveries in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases affecting the people of Qatar and the region.
I am enthusiastic about the work we do at QBRI, which focuses on understanding neurological disorders at a fundamental level. By understanding the molecular and cellular details of conditions such as autism, we are building capacity within Qatar to improve diagnosis and develop therapies. It is an honor and privilege to be part of a multidisciplinary research team that is making an impact on patients’ lives.
