Research Department
​​​About us

The Research Department works to provide a supportive and stimulating environment for various scientific and health research by equipping specialized laboratories and establishing high-quality ethical and scientific bases and standards that are consistent with the laws and regulations adopted in Saudi Arabia. It also aims to make the Health Sciences Research Center an attractive facility for locally and internationally distinguished researchers, and to promote scientific collaboration and exchange of ideas in all fields of scientific and health research among internal and external researchers. 
The Center has 10 research units that were inaugurated under the patronage of the University’s Rector and Her Excellency, the University’s Vice Rector of Health Affairs. The establishment of these units is consistent with the strategies of the University and the Health Sciences Research Center as well as the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 which aspires to achieve, among other things, research excellence and a stimulating research environment.
