Biomedical Research Center

Biomedical Research Center (BRC)

BRC is committed to improving health in Qatar by focusing on research, training, and service in applied and basic biomedical research within two major areas: metabolic disease; and communicable disease. 
The Biomedical Research Center offers biomedical labs not available at the college level, and complements biomedical research capabilities that exist or are planned in the country.

BRC implemented its strategy by working internally with colleges such as Health Sciences, Arts & Sciences, and Medicine as well as the Environmental Science Center, and externally with HMC, SIDRA, HBKU, and Ministry of Public Health (MoPH).

BRC reached out to the industrial sector in Qatar by starting a collaborative project with ExxonMobil for the project of “Dugong DNA Sequencing”, with Al-Qannas association –Katara of (Falcons) Whole Genome Sequencing and other industrial partners.
