About Us

 

Qatar Precision Health Institute (QPHI) is a national center for research and implementation under Qatar Foundation. 
Its primary focus is to enhance precision healthcare quality and value through comprehensive study of genomics and multi-omics.
Qatar’s Vision 2030 is a road map for the future of the country and QHPI is proud to support the scientific vision and advancement of a worldclass healthcare system accessible to the population that is dedicated to preventive and curative health care.   This can be achieved through our focus on collecting biological material and associated data that can support comprehensive studies of genomics and multi omics.

At QPHI, we’re leading the development of precision health for the nation. These are some of the few milestones we’re hoping to reach in the coming months and years:
•    100,000 unique genetic maps from the local population
•    Genetic mapping of specific disease cohorts: COVID-19, autism, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease
•    Establishing diagnostic protocols to identify patients in disease areas
•    Completing pharmacogenetic treatment protocols in selected disease areas
•    Optimizing the commercial potential of QPHI

 
What is Precision Health
Precision health is the new paradigm that is emerging within healthcare, and it works by using individual personal information about health and lifestyle as well as genetic data to develop personalized prevention, diagnostic, and treatment strategies.  
 
Vision
Helping shape Qatar’s future health care through the implementation of precision medicine
 
Mission
Spearheading national efforts to translate cutting edge genomic and multi-omics research outcomes into impactful health care services that would improve the population’s health.
 
 

What We Do

Qatar Precision Health Institute is advancing precision healthcare by engaging the Qatari population in contributing their vital biological samples and insights to help them lead a healthier lifestyle. We translate groundbreaking genomic and multi-omics research into tangible healthcare services, benefiting Qatar and the broader Arab community.
Through our work, we provide invaluable insights into the complex interplay of lifestyle, environment, and genetics on health outcomes. Moreover, we empower clinical efforts in precision medicine, prioritizing key clinical areas, fostering scalability, providing essential resources, and driving policy initiatives for precision healthcare.
  

Contribution to Community

Enhancing the health and well-being of Qatar's community is at the core of our operations. We achieve this by serving as a central hub for medical research, working closely with healthcare and governmental bodies to shape evidence-based health policies. Aligned with national goals, we focus on preventive care, personalized diagnosis and treatment, and data-driven health mapping.
We are committed to empowering individuals by providing insights into genetic and lifestyle factors, enabling the community to make informed health decisions and tailor interventions to individual needs, and ensuring more effective healthcare strategies that lead to improved health outcomes. Furthermore, we work on educating the public and building the next generation of scientists.
