About the Division
The Biological and Life Sciences Division at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) in Abu Dhabi is at the forefront of research at the intersection of Genomics, Multi‑Omics, Personalized Medicine, Precision Therapeutics, Epidemiology, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). A key initiative within the division is the Human Phenotype Project, a groundbreaking, large‑scale longitudinal cohort and biobank designed to identify novel molecular markers with diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic value.
The project involves deep profiling of participants through comprehensive data collection on medical history, lifestyle and nutritional habits, vitals, anthropometrics, blood tests, continuous glucose and sleep monitoring, and multi‑omic molecular profiling, including genetics, transcriptomics, microbiomics, metabolomics, and immune‑system markers. Leveraging this data with advanced AI, medical, and computational models, the division generates insights into disease mechanisms, identifies novel biomarkers, and develops state‑of‑the‑art predictive models for disease onset and progression.
These models translate into personalized prevention strategies and innovative therapeutic interventions. Faculty joining the division will have full access to unique datasets such as the Human Phenotype Project, enabling cutting‑edge research. Another flagship effort is the Emirati Genome Project (EGP), a national initiative to map the UAE population’s genetic profile, supporting personalized and preventive healthcare through advanced genomic research.
