Testimonials

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.

Dr. Lawrence Stanton

Director, Neurological Disorders Research Center

QBRI stands as a biomedical research institute dedicated to addressing pressing health challenges in the region. Recognizing the underrepresentation of Arab populations in research, our mission extends beyond borders. We aspire to elevate QBRI into a global nexus for biomedical and translational research, fostering extensive collaborations worldwide. I take pride in our endeavors, propelling us towards enhancing healthcare in Qatar and beyond.
