Research Publications - College of Medicine and Health Science

Dean’s Message
It gives me great pleasure to invite you to review the 2011 edition
of Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS) Research
Publications and Research Profiles.
As our FMHS researchers continue to make important contributions
to the biomedical, community and clinical literature, I
congratulate all faculty who have contributed to this impressive
research productivity. Each investigator would not function without
a full support team that includes co-investigators, graduate
students, medical students, technical staff, secretarial, support
staff and volunteers. Their collaboration and cooperation makes
such research feasible and we are grateful to all of them for their
contributions to the research successes at FMHS.
The research output of the FMHS is greatly encouraged by senior
administration at the UAEU and we are committed to rise to the
challenge to further develop our research capabilities.
As ever, grant sponsorship remains a much-sought commodity
and without generous grants from supportive organisations our
research would not be possible. We are pleased to acknowledge
sponsorship for the 2011 research projects from the following
institutions:
��Sheikh Hamdan Award for Medical Sciences
