The CMHS Research Office is an important part of the College of Medicine and Health Science (CMHS) at Khalifa University. CMHS Research Office plays a significant role to promote activities related to research. The CMHS Research Office encourages research within our faculty, and external research collaborations around the globe, and excellent funds that KU offers to promote research.The CMHS college has employed top talented researchers from across the globe consolidating itself as a reference College at

a scientific level.This provides to have prestigious companies and renowned hospitals as stakeholders promoting clinical research.This fact significantly contributes to the expansion of our research initiatives and facilitates opportunities for our students to set up collaborations with top-tier researchers. Our research focus is in addressing national priorities.

Healthy Longevity:

According to the government research strategies, our research focus strategy is in aging. It is necessary to understand the process, changes, and factors that impact and affect in our life cycle and aging related diseases in the human being. The aim of this field is to delay the aging factor and minimize or reduce diseases age related.

Infectious diseases:

Infectious disease, being a global problem in public health, refer to the study of diseases caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Researchers in this field work to better understand the causes, transmission, prevention, treatment, and control of infectious diseases.

Precision medicine:

focuses on tailoring medical treatment and healthcare interventions to individual characteristics of patients. Seeks to increase the quality of health care by individualizing the health-care process.

These characteristics can include a person's genetic makeup, molecular profiles, environmental factors, lifestyle, and even their microbiome. The goals of precision medicine are targeted therapies, early disease detection, risk assessment, personalized treatment, preventive strategies, and improved diagnosis.

Digital health

(data science, medical artificial intelligence). Applying digital health technologies to healthcare. Medical research uses the emerging AI technologies and the massive data analysis. These technologies help the doctors to have a holistic view of patient health and helping in decision making following the ethical regulations.

Drug discovery and therapeutics:

Drug discovery is the process through which potential new medicines are identified. It involves a wide range of scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, and pharmacology. We are delighted to have such interdisciplinary research in our college fostering collaboration and innovation in this field.

Public and Environmental health:

The Public Health and Epidemiology Department at CMHS serves as the foundation for public health research within the college. Our research encompasses both quantitative and qualitative data from primary and secondary sources, aiming to improve the health and well-being of all populations.

What are our equipment capabilities?

To be able to develop the research and to comply with the research strategies, our campus boasts excellent facilities from which research activities can be conducted. There is available the pharmacology, Physiology and Immunology, Histology/anatomy, Molecular Biology, Genetics, and imaging labs. These labs are fully equipped, and they are accessible to all CMHS faculty and KU scientists.
