Present Day
SSMC’s Research Center is paving the way for groundbreaking discoveries, innovative techniques, and advanced treatments by:
- Conducting clinical trials and investigator-initiated studies in the departments of Neurology, Gastroenterology, Hematology/Oncology, Ophthalmology, and Cardiology.
- Assembling multiple comprehensive patient registries in different medical departments to generate hypotheses and provide basic tools to the investigators to perform cutting-edge clinical trials.
In 2021 alone, our investigators from SSMC published more than 160 papers in peer-reviewed journals, including The New England Journal of Medicine.
Furthermore, 33 research studies were approved by the Research Ethics Board (REB) and Research Ethics Committee (REC). These studies include AI-based research, which is a priority area for SSMC which was the first in the Middle East to implement AI-based methodology for patient care.
In 2022, the research center is set to expand significantly and will include scientists, multiple clinical research coordinators (CRC), biostatistician(s), epidemiologist(s) operational managers, and other teams from various departments including legal, finance, information technology (IT) and grants/patent office.
