Gold Nanoparticles-based Assays for Direct and Cost Effective Detection of High Burden Diseases.
Seroprevalence of Anti-Hepatitis E (HEV) Antibodies among Blood Donors in Qatar and Performance Evaluation of five Commercial Kits for Detecting Anti-HEV Antibodies.
Detection of Legionella pneumophila in Qatar Cooling system.
Spray Vaccine Against Avian Colibacillosis (Escherichia coli).
Intestinal parasitic infections among immigrant and resident workers in Qatar.

Resuscitation from trauma and hemorrhagic shock by direct intracellular energy delivery.
The peritoneal response to the sterile clinical dialysis solution.
Lipoxygenase Pathway in Retinal Angiogenesis.
Systems approach towards diabetes research using molecular profiling tools.
Zebrafish as a tool to study the role of cardiac myosin binding protein C (MYBPC3) mutations during hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: mechanisms of disease (in collaboration with QF-QCRC).

Role of fat stem cells in insulin resistant lean individuals: Our aims are to understand the role of preadipocytes in the etiology of insulin resistance; in particular the molecular mechanisms marking impaired adipogenesis in the lean insulin resistant subjects and factors underlying the “protective phenotype” seen in their insulin sensitive counterparts. This project utilizes state of the art imaging, molecular, cellular and OMICS techniques.
Genetic predisposition and metabolomics profiling of elite athletes: Our aims are to validate our novel genetic variants associated with elite athletic performance for potential screening of elite athletic candidates with commercial and general health implications.
