Message From The Vice President For Research

Building a research university that others want to work with

RAK Medical and Health Sciences University brings medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and nursing together on one campus. That is an unusual advantage, and our research agenda is built to use it: problems in health rarely respect disciplinary boundaries, and neither should the teams working on them.

Our priorities are straightforward. Concentrate effort in the areas where we already have depth rather than spreading thin. Translate laboratory findings into something that reaches patients. Govern the work rigorously and publish how we govern it. Open our facilities and our expertise to partners in the region and beyond. And give our postgraduate researchers an environment in which serious work is possible.

If you are considering a research degree here, looking for a collaborator, or assessing whether we are a serious partner, this section is designed to answer your questions without requiring an email. Where we do not yet have the answer published, we say so.
