Research Publications - College of Medicine and Health Science

Foreword from the Assistant Dean
for Research & Graduate Studies
Research activities at the FMHS lead to a high number of peerreviewed
publications in internationally acclaimed journals every
year.
In the last 20 years, we have maintained this tradition and have
kept the community in the UAE and across the globe aware of the
research contributions of the FMHS at the UAEU in the academic
and scientific environment. The researchers at the FMHS are
well-known investigators in various disciplines of Biomedical
Sciences and have always made their presence felt in the scientific
community through their publications and participation at
national and international meetings and other scholarly activities,
which has led us to position ourselves ideally as the top biomedical
research-intense institution in the UAE and the region.
Despite a very competitive atmosphere to attract funds for
research, we are proud of our faculty members who have preserved
a progressive and cooperative environment while maintaining
productivity of international standard. The Office of Research and
Graduate Studies continues to promote such an environment
by allocating resources wisely, nurturing incoming faculty, and
providing the necessary infrastructure and resources by acquiring
state of the art equipment and technologies, in addition to running
a store for general consumables for research. In the recent years,
we have also embarked on developing and maintaining central
research facilities such as the Imaging, Analytical, and a Molecular
and Cellular Biology facility, in addition to a small animal vivarium.
It is important to highlight and recognize the contribution and
ongoing support of the UAEU administration who are seeking to
make UAEU a research intensive institution in order to implement
the vision of His Excellency the Chancellor Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak
Al Nahayan.
