​Research Magazine 2024

In a time of global uncertainty, our Research Magazine 2024 highlights how our researchers are advancing knowledge that is both locally relevant and globally significant. From tackling the health risks of extreme heat to harnessing artificial intelligence for cancer care, shaping education policy, and addressing brain and mental health, this issue captures the breadth and impact of AKU’s research across disciplines and regions.

The magazine also showcases the launch of the Research Initiative for Scholars’ Excellence (RISE) programme​, designed to strengthen the careers of early-career faculty, and shares stories of resilience, innovation and partnership in the face of shifting global research landscapes.
