Research is becoming fully integrated into every patient’s journey, and the ‘standard of care’ for patients visiting Sidra Medicine benefits from seamless access to state-of-the-art technologies housed within the Research Department.

This principle is transforming Research services to a dedicated team working seamlessly with medical staff along the continuum of care. In turn, this is transforming Sidra Medicine Research to an independent Institute for Personalized Medicine which is competitive by global benchmarks, attracting funding from private organizations and philanthropic donors aiming to solve diseases and advance therapy for future generations.

Achieving this vision makes Sidra Medicine a premier destination for patients from all over the world seeking exceptional medical treatment and research-driven care.

As an academic medical center, Research is embedded in patient care. Working seamlessly with clinicians, over 20 research Investigator and Core labs use advanced diagnostic technologies such as Whole Genome Sequencing and immunophenotyping, applying personalized pipelines to characterize patients with rare and complex disorders linked to high consanguinity. Advanced Diagnostics are complemented by building large data- and bio-repositories of healthy and sick individuals, enabling big data mining, predictive health and future Precision Medicine research.

“Collective data” is accumulating at a fast pace in public repositories. Case in point: the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus, GEO, is now constituted by over 65,000 datasets encompassing 1.7 million transcriptome profiles. This area was created based on the premise that such vast amounts of publically available data can directly benefit the work of “mainstream” biomedical researchers.

Dataset collections relevant to specific research topics have been curated by subject matter experts and loaded in an interactive web tool. This tool allows seamless browsing of the data along with the relevant information about studies and samples that is necessary for its interpretation.

This resource will serve as a basis for subsequent identification of potential knowledge gaps and publication of discovery notes, research papers, posters and presentations. These reports are organized under the companion Collective Data Discovery area.

“Collective data” is accumulating at a fast pace in public repositories. The availability of these vast amounts of data provides researchers with opportunities to identify gaps in biomedical knowledge.

Collective Data Discovery compiles reports that describe knowledge gaps identified using collective data. Follow on validation studies involving data generated de novo will also be published in this channel.

A companion Collective Data Access area has also been established, in order to avail life scientists with means to interactively navigate subject matter-specific curated dataset collections.

This channel publishes original research in clinical and translational biomedicine by scientists and clinicians affiliated with the Sidra Medical and Research Center. This research spans Sidra’s five Biomedical Research Programs , which focus on biomedical informatics, clinical epidemiology, experimental biology, experimental genetics and translational medicine. Sidra Research is part of the Sidra Medical and Research Center Gateway .

Sidra Research Events publishes posters and slides presented at meetings, conferences and symposia on biomedical themes organized by Sidra Events from Sidra Medical and Research Center.

In recent years, the implementation of high throughput technologies and dedicated bioinformatic pipelines has dramatically increased our understanding of the relationship between cancer genetics and the immune system. The fusion between genetics, immunology, and cancer research has defined a new discipline: cancer immunogenomics.

Cancer Immunogenomics focuses on sharing scientific materials related to such areas of research. Features of the channel will include poster presentations, slideshows and scientific papers. Specific collections of curated tumor transcriptomic data sets (data notes) will be also be published in this area.

The introduction in recent years of high-throughput profiling technologies has made it possible to monitor molecular changes in human subjects with unprecedented depth/resolution.

This area describes methods, protocols and report findings obtained in the context of pregnancy monitoring studies involving the Sidra Medical and Research Center.

The overarching aim of such studies is to identify shifts in molecular homeostasis that may precede onset of clinical symptoms and/or adverse clinical outcomes.

A wide range of deep phenotyping platforms will be employed for transcriptome and microbiome profiling, large scale serum protein profiling and cellular repertoire characterization by multiparameter flow cytometry.

Text description provided by the architects. Sidra Medicine is a world-class hospital and ambulatory care center offering state-of-the-art clinical services and biomedical research. This academic medical center is part of the Qatar Foundation’s Education City campus, which hosts branches of American universities.

The 380-bed hospital has dedicated divisions for children’s health, women’s health, and adult acute care. The identity of each specialty hospital is articulated by a sweeping, sail-like atrium form with dedicated drop-off and entrance zones from both street level and underground parking level. Natural materials, including wood, granite, and marble, are used throughout the lobby and public spaces to create a warm and welcoming environment.

The inpatient rooms for each hospital are organized around three healing garden atria. Glass-enclosed elevator lobbies overlook the lobby atrium and healing garden atrium, orienting visitors and patients within the building. The atria are clad in ceramic tile, enamel-coated metal panels, and high-performance glass with stainless steel accents and sunshades, utilizing a variety of measures to filter and soften the strong sunlight.

The 37,160-square meter (400,000-square-foot) Ambulatory Care Clinic frames a historic house, preserving the heritage of Qatar’s built environment. Directly tied to the main hospital by bridges on three levels, the clinic building also connects back to the Weill Cornell Medical College, providing a direct link between education and practice. The center is also planned to include translational research facilities and a central services plant.

The complex will include structured above grade staff parking for 1,000 cars, and underground public parking for 1,000 cars. The design treats the parking garages as an important part of the public experience. Rather than a utilitarian transit zone, visitors parking their cars pass an engaging space with sculpted arch forms and an undulating ceiling plane. Projected future phases will accommodate the future underground walkway to Weill Cornell Medical College.
