This accomplishment pushes us forward, not only to maintain what we have reached, but also to progress towards the scientific status the UAE higher education hopes for in terms of enhancing scientific research at the university level.”
He added, “AAU has participated in DUPHAT for three years in a row as we realize the importance of this scientific gathering. Year after year, DUPHAT has brought together the most prominent pharmaceutical companies as well as colleges of pharmacy.

Our participation included medical research and papers, scientific posters, and presentations which students prepared so as to connect with the pharmaceutical organizations and present their qualifications.”
