The Center for Applied and Translational Genomics (CATG) brings together multidisciplinary teams and diverse fields of OMICs to accelerate discovery and support better outcomes for patients. Through collaborative expertise and cutting-edge technologies, CATG strengthens the connection between scientific research and clinical practice, contributing to the development of precision medicine.
CATG integrates diverse OMICs disciplines to accelerate research and translate discoveries into meaningful clinical impact.
We are advancing the development of an Arab reference genome to address the underrepresentation of regional populations in global genetic research. Using integrated multi-omics approaches, we are building a comprehensive genomic resource tailored to Arab and Middle Eastern populations. This work supports more accurate diagnostics, targeted therapies, and equitable precision medicine across the UAE and the region.
Find moreWe conduct collaborative, large-scale cancer research to better understand the molecular drivers of disease across diverse cancer types. By integrating genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data, we identify key biological pathways and clinically relevant biomarkers. Our goal is to enable earlier detection and more personalized treatment approaches that improve patient outcomes.
We focus on uncovering the genetic basis of rare and complex diseases through advanced whole genome sequencing technologies. By combining detailed clinical data with high-resolution genomic analysis, we identify variants that may be missed by conventional methods. This research enhances diagnostic accuracy and supports the development of targeted care strategies for patients and families.
We apply advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze complex multi-omics data and uncover meaningful biological insights. These technologies enhance our ability to predict disease risk, refine diagnoses, and guide personalized treatments. Through strategic partnerships, we accelerate innovation at the intersection of data science and healthcare.
