Aga Khan University’s Medical College has launched an open, multidisciplinary platform to promote collaborations between health sciences researchers around the world.
The
Research Groups platform highlights opportunities for young and established researchers to partner with University faculty on academic initiatives organised into over 30 distinct specialties spanning basic science, translational and clinical medicine, medical education, and public health.
The groups are studying issues as diverse as the causes of the most common types of cancer in Pakistan, the threat posed by non-communicable diseases in the developing world, and research into global trends in antimicrobial resistance.
Each group has a track record of fostering research collaborations, producing publications and attracting extramural funding; and faculty in every research group are keen to work with specialists inside and outside the University to open up new opportunities for pioneering research.
“Our goal is to break down the silos that result in experts working in isolation,” said Dr Asad Ali, associate dean of research. “Innovation and knowledge generation thrive in supportive, collaborative environments and these groups will enable us to foster meaningful partnerships between faculty while also giving young researchers a chance to work with experienced peers.”
Each research group has a
dedicated page with details of opportunities for collaborations.
