Message from Chairperson
“Welcome to the UAE BIOTECH Research Center (UAE BIOTECH), where science becomes purpose.
Here, we do more than conduct research. We build legacies, unlock nature’s blueprints, and apply biotechnology to reshape the future of animal health, biodiversity, and sustainability.
Our strength lies not in a single mind, but in a collective of scientists, innovators, and visionaries working shoulder to shoulder. From cloning to stem cell therapies, from gene editing to embryo transfer, our integrated model enables real solutions that reach from the lab bench to the field.
We stand on the edge of possibility. Every genome preserved, every endangered species protected, every breakthrough in regenerative therapy is a step toward a world where compassion meets science, and precision serves life.
Let others wait for the future. We engineer it.
Together, we lead, not for the sake of recognition, but because the mission is greater than ourselves.”
Dr. Fatima Al Kaabi
