M42 and the American University in Dubai (AUD) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expand practical learning opportunities for biology and pre-medical students, strengthen knowledge exchange, and support the development of future healthcare talent in the UAE.
Under the MoU, selected AUD biology and pre-medical students will have opportunities to participate in research, training, and clinical observation across relevant M42 facilities, subject to internal approvals and availability.
Potential areas of engagement include neuroscience, cancer, metabolic and cardiovascular health, alongside digital health and genomics, offering students exposure to different disciplines and potential career pathways.
M42 and AUD will facilitate the exchange of knowledge and expertise through potential joint events, workshops, and training programmes. Educational, research, and outreach activities may also include seminars and panel discussions focused on applied life sciences and healthcare innovation.
The two organisations will also explore direct M42-led initiatives to support biology and pre-medical students, including potential scholarships, particularly those aligned with UAE national workforce development and Emiratisation priorities.
