GHD, IBI Nightingale and Al Jalila Foundation have unveiled the concept design for Al Jalila Foundation Research Centre in Dubai. This will be the first standalone medical research centre in the UAE and will focus on five regional health challenges: diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and mental health.

The new 10-storey building is to be co-located with a major new academic health science centre within Dubai Healthcare City. It will have three floors of research laboratories, as well as clinic spaces, administration and spaces for other partner organisations.
