“10 days.

Columbus, Ohio | June 5
Delivered a lecture at The James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute, The The Ohio State University University, titled:

This journey was more than a series of meetings and lectures. It was a reflection of our commitment to positioning the UAE and the region at the forefront of global oncology, precision medicine, and artificial intelligence in cancer care.
Through research, collaboration, and innovation, we continue to build bridges between leading international institutions and our healthcare ecosystem in the UAE — with one ultimate goal: improving outcomes for patients with cancer.
My sincere appreciation to my colleagues and friends at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, and The Ohio State University for their warm hospitality, meaningful collaboration, and for making me feel at home.”
