PATRONAGE OF HIS HIGHNESS

Under the Patronage of
H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

Shaping the future of reproductive biotechnology with the vision and discipline that defines Dubai's leadership.

Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Dubai Future Foundation.

Honouring His Leadership

His Highness has played a decisive role in positioning Dubai as one of the world's most future-ready cities, launching the Dubai Research and Development Program and the Dubai Research, Development and Innovation Grant Initiative to embed scientific research at the core of the emirate's growth.

These efforts have created a clear framework: serious projects must advance knowledge, strengthen key economic sectors and build capabilities for generations, not just for the next quarter.

A Vision Al-Shababi Must Live Up To

When His Highness calls for Dubai to invest in young talent, build a sustainable innovation-driven economy, and transform assets into pioneering ventures, he sets a benchmark every serious institution must strive to meet.

Research & Innovation

Alignment with Dubai's RDI priorities and world-class grant standards in every project we undertake.

Elite Discipline in Science

The same patience, precision and resilience His Highness shows in endurance racing—applied to laboratory decisions.

Impact for Generations

Building local talent, genomic data infrastructure and capabilities that serve the UAE for decades to come.

Camels, Horses and Heritage

His Highness's lifelong connection to camels and horses, and his role in elevating the UAE's standing in global equestrian sport, give special weight to any project working with these animals.

Al-Shababi treats that association as a responsibility: to protect and refine heritage bloodlines, to raise standards of animal welfare, and to use powerful biotechnologies only within clear ethical and regulatory boundaries.

"Our work with camels and horses is carried out with the awareness that it reflects on the legacy of His Highness and on the story of this country."

Commitment to Standards Worthy of His Name

Ethics & Regulation

Strict compliance with UAE law and international bioethics standards, with close coordination with relevant authorities.

Scientific Rigor

International protocols, peer collaborations, and measurable outcomes that withstand global scrutiny.

Transparency & Accountability

Publishing results, inviting audits, and reporting impact in a way that honours his patronage.

Contributing to His Vision for Dubai's Future

Every embryo transfer programme, semen-preservation protocol, genetic analysis or future cloning initiative is designed to contribute to Dubai's wider research and innovation ecosystem. Our long-term roadmap—training local scientists, building genomic and tissue banks, and collaborating with leading universities—aims to justify the honour of His Highness's patronage through measurable, lasting impact.
