Translational Medical Research Centre (TMRC)

Brief Overview

The Translational Medical Research Centre (TMRC) at Ras Al Khaimah Medical and Health Sciences University (RAKMHSU) represents a strategic institutional investment in future-ready, impact-driven biomedical research. Established to bridge discovery science with real-world healthcare, TMRC was envisioned as a central engine for translational innovation—where fundamental research is seamlessly converted into diagnostics, therapeutics, technologies, and evidence-based solutions.

The Translational Medical Research Centre (TMRC) at RAK Medical and Health Sciences University (RAKMHSU) represents a state-of-the-art wet-lab ecosystem dedicated to accelerating molecular discovery and translational innovation. TMRC integrates nanopharmaceutical formulation, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, immunology, histopathology, molecular biology (including cell culture), and next-generation sequencing platforms under one roof to bridge fundamental science with clinical relevance. Equipped with Waters Xevo TQ-XS LC-MS/MS, Automated HPLC, Nanogenerator, Particle Size Analyzer, FTIR, DSC, Flash Chromatography, Freeze Dryer, etc., TMRC enables comprehensive analysis of drug purity, stability, and structural properties. Its biological testing division supports microbial, cell culture, biochemical, immunological, and histopathological assays using human normal and cancer cell lines. TMRC pioneers drug repurposing, anticancer research, and nanoparticle design for enhanced solubility and targeted delivery. Together, these platforms empower faculty, students, and collaborators to translate benchside discoveries into tangible healthcare and pharmaceutical innovations aligned with UAE Vision 2031.

Over the years, TMRC has matured into a highly integrated, multidisciplinary wet-laboratory ecosystem supporting molecular biology, biochemistry, nanotechnology, analytical sciences, and omics-driven research. Designed with scalability, regulatory readiness, and global benchmarking in mind, TMRC now serves as a preferred research destination for faculty, postgraduate students, doctoral scholars, industry partners, and government bodies. Its rapid growth and national visibility reflect RAKMHSU’s commitment to research excellence and global relevance.
