Video: Increasing Genomic Capability in the United Arab Emirates

Emirati scientists, clinicians, and dignitaries attended the opening of the Illumina Solutions Center in Dubai on November 8. The new state-of-the-art facility will expand genomics capabilities and build local expertise in genomics to advance and deliver precision medicine to patients at scale.

“We opened our UAE-based Solutions Center because we see tremendous opportunity to deepen our already-strong relationships with the country’s health and technology ministries, as well as with science and health care professionals in the region,” says Susan Tousi, chief commercial officer of Illumina. “In the era of the genome, the center will enable our partners to drive scientific discovery geared towards the Arab population, and set new standards of health care excellence at the local and regional level.”
