Division of Public health Research

Center for advancing translational public health research and personalized healthcare in the UAE

The Division of Public Health focuses on understanding the population-level dynamics of cancer and translating data into actionable strategies for prevention, early detection, and improved patient outcomes.

By combining epidemiology, informatics, and data analytics, the division aims to strengthen cancer control efforts at both community and national levels.

Our researchers collect and analyze large-scale health data to identify risk factors, monitor disease trends, and evaluate the impact of screening and intervention programs. Using advanced informatics tools, the division integrates clinical, genomic, and demographic data to support evidence-based decision-making and formation of registry in cancer care and policy.

Through interdisciplinary collaboration, the Division of Public Health bridges research, technology, and public health practice to reduce the cancer burden and promote health equity across populations.
