Doha, Qatar: The Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF) Programmes, part of Qatar, Research, Development, and Innovation (QRDI) Council, held Research Outcome Seminar (ROS) on the outcomes of talent-funded research projects.
This engaging event brought together talented graduates who presented their remarkable research outcomes in the fields of ‘Advances in Biomedical and Health and Sustainable Solutions’.
On October 23 at the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC) a day of insightful presentations, networking, and the celebration of groundbreaking research outcomes took place. This event was dedicated to the achievements of talented graduates, who discussed the results of their PhD studies and postdoctoral fellowships.
Commenting on ROS, Riham Daher, RDI Program Director, QRDI Council said: “Cultivating knowledge and innovation is the cornerstone of progress in our ever-evolving world. Through the ROS Seminar, we celebrated the dedication and brilliance of our researchers, charting a course toward a brighter, healthier, and more sustainable future. Together, we are transforming today’s research into tomorrow’s solutions.”
The event kicked off with registration and networking which had two sessions.
The first session was titled ‘Advances in Biomedical and Health’, which shed light on the remarkable innovations and talent driving advancements in healthcare and medical sciences. The presentations covered a diverse range of topics, each showcasing groundbreaking studies and discoveries.
Topics included the investigation of the intricate genotype-phenotype correlation in Stargardt Disease, the utilisation of computational methods for analysing cancer heterogeneity and evolution, and the modeling of Parkinson’s disease pathology in patient-specific induced Pluripotent Stem Cells.
One hour was dedicated to the poster discussion. During this interlude, attendees had the opportunity to engage in discussions with presenters through poster presentations, fostering a vibrant atmosphere for knowledge exchange.
The second session was titled ‘Sustainable Solutions’, The Energy and Environment Research session featured groundbreaking projects that held the key to a greener and more sustainable future. Topics explored include innovative ‘Solar Roof tile’ technologies, wastewater treatment and materials recovery, as well as advancements in corrosion protection methods.
Designed and administered by the QNRF Programmes, part of QRDI Council, these seminars aim to provide a platform for scientists from research institutes and external researchers funded by QNRF Programmes to present their research outcomes and exchange experiences to contribute to the development of cutting-edge knowledge.
