The Dubai Harvard Foundation for Medical Research
was created to help drive a resurgence in scientific
inquiry and discovery in the Middle East, and lead
to innovations that will address the region’s
most pressing health problems. The Foundation aims
to support cutting-edge collaborative research, as
well as establish sustainable research centers and
education programs focused on creating innovations
in medical practice. Through these activities, the
Foundation will enable the Gulf Region’s best
minds to help usher in a new era of scientific promise,
while contributing to advances that will ease the
suffering caused by disease.
The Foundation is creating a permanent endowment
and the infrastructure within Harvard University to
advance knowledge by:
- Building human capital – medical and scientific
leaders for Dubai, the UAE and the Gulf Region
- Funding Dubai Harvard Foundation Research Centers
directed at priority disease areas for the region
- Supporting collaborative research between Harvard
Medical School Research Centers and labs in the
region that will build sustainable research programs
in the Middle East
- Developing a sustainable infrastructure in Dubai
for an international exchange of scholars
