Secretary General, Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Award for Medical Sciences
President, Centre for Arab Genomic Studies (CAGS)

I am pleased to welcome all participants of the HGM 2011 conference to Dubai which will mark in the
history of the United Arab Emirates for the first time such a prestigious international event that have
come in the country.

The vision of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, UAE Minister of Finance, President of the Dubai Health Authority and the patron of the Awards to alleviate human suffering from genetic diseases in the Arab World crystallized in the establishment of the Centre for Arab Genomic Studies (CAGS) to characterize and prevent genetic disorders and transfigure the future practice of health care in the region.

of the priority objectives of the Centre for Arab Genomic Studies are to educate the public and
professionals alike on the important impact of genetic diseases in the Arab World and the methods and benefits of early genetic diagnosis.this conference will give a link between the international experts from the Genomic field with the regional experts and would share the latest study findings or break through from the field. This is a unique opportunity for the participants to get handful of information and techniques to develop their own skill.

The Centre for Arab Genomic Studies also plans to provide comprehensive genetic services by translating research achievements into well-integrated patient treatment programs. Concurrently, it will also address the ethical, legal, and social issues that may arise with the implementation of such programmes.

We look forward to see you in Dubai.
