Hortman Stem Cell Laboratory, the UAE's first GMP hybrid stem cell banking and molecular laboratory, has officially introduced its advanced services in stem cell banking, regenerative medicine, and molecular and genomics testing. This significant milestone positions Hortman as a leader in healthcare innovation in the region, specializing in advanced molecular and genomics testing, stem cell banking, and regenerative medicine.
Hortman is set to revolutionize healthcare in the UAE by offering a distinctive blend of stem cell banking, regenerative medicine, and molecular and genomics testing, all powered by cutting-edge technologies. Dr. Fatma Al Hashimi, Director of Hortman Stem Cell Laboratory and Chairperson of the Dubai Stem Cell Congress (DSCC), articulated the lab's mission to promote sustainable healthcare through these innovative services. "Together, we make the world better," Dr. Al Hashimi stated, underscoring the lab's dedication to pioneering medical solutions and enhancing patient outcomes.
During the event, presentations detailed the lab's extensive services, including stem cell banking and molecular and genomics testing. The discussions also highlighted Hortman's collaborations with international research institutions to advance stem cell therapies, reinforcing its commitment to personalized healthcare. A notable highlight was the signing of several Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with key partners, including the Central Veterinary Research Laboratory (CVRL), Dubai Camel Hospital (DCH), Germany's Marga-and-Walter-Boll-Laboratory for Cardiac Tissue Engineering (MWBL), Eppendorf, and the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Dubai Campus.
Dr. Fatma Al Hashimi, an accomplished project manager and stem cell consultant, leads the Hortman Laboratory. With a PhD in Project Management: Cord Blood Donor Recruitment, a master's degree in molecular genetics, and a track record of pioneering healthcare initiatives in the UAE, Dr. Al Hashimi is ideally suited to lead this transformative endeavor. Her leadership has also resulted in the establishment of the Dubai Stem Cell Congress (DSCC), which continues to raise awareness and promote advancements in regenerative medicine.
The launch of Hortman Stem Cell Laboratory signifies a new era for healthcare in Dubai, emphasizing sustainable innovation and global collaborations. The lab aims to play a crucial role in the UAE's Dubai 2030-2050 vision, contributing to the nation's development as a global hub for top-tier healthcare and scientific research.
