Research Departments
Research departments at Sidra Medicine include Translational Medicine and Biomedical Informatics. Both of these departments are equipped with sophisticated technology and staffed with diversely experienced researchers and scientists who are committed to making innovative changes in medical care.
Translational Medicine
The Department of Translational Medicine aims to perform research to understand human biology and pathophysiology relevant to the improvement of healthcare by improving diagnosis, disease prevention, therapeutic applications, and implementation of advanced therapies.
We aim to expedite the transformation of new research discoveries into clinical applications and conversely emphasize the discovery of new biological concepts through direct patient-based observation that could stimulate new research developments.
Investigators use sophisticated technologies to empower translational scientists and clinicians for new discoveries, engaging clinicians and patients in research, building collaborative networks, and training a new generation of clinical and translational scientists within the region.
Biomedical Informatics
The Department of Biomedical Informatics aims to service and support the biomedical research needs of Sidra Medicine as well as other institutions in Qatar, by providing flexibility to the researchers to execute research projects with minimal informatics constraints. The Department has built a custom-designed HPC infrastructure for the computation and storage of high-throughput genome-wide experimental data. The HPC architecture is custom-designed and unique not only in Qatar but in the whole region as well.
The Department has also developed unique expertise in Bioinformatics and Biostatistics in order to analyze big data arising from genomics and other omics projects. This has facilitated not only clinically relevant research in Sidra, but also nationally important large-scale programs such as the Qatar Genome Program (QGP). Recognizing the pivotal role that Sidra Biomedical Informatics plays in Qatar, it has been established as a “National Resource”.
Sidra Medicine is a unique academic medical and research center based in Doha, Qatar. Our ambition is to carry out research that provides accurate and timely diagnoses for women and children with complex conditions, and to pioneer new approaches to disease management and treatments.
The Core Facilities at Sidra Research house innovative, state-of-the art platforms to support our mission and vision, from cutting-edge advanced diagnostics (applied genomics, proteomics, flow cytometry, microscopy, etc.) to advanced therapies manufacturing (Cell and Gene Therapy Facility). In addition, Sidra Research has an actively growing Clinical Trials Office that leads clinical studies to transform patient care through research.
Over the years, we have established strategic partnerships with service providers to bring these platforms to the wider local and regional community. Our experienced staff also offer regular training, education and capacity building initiatives for students and the scientific community in Qatar and beyond.
