Doha – June 24, 2026: Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) have published a comprehensive assessment of the epidemiology of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonorrhea) infection in sub-Saharan Africa, the region with the highest burden of this infection globally. Published in the high-impact journal PLOS Medicine, the study provides the most detailed synthesis to date of the regional burden, distribution, and epidemiological patterns of gonorrhea. Gonorrhea is among the most common sexually transmitted infections worldwide and is an increasing public health concern because of rapidly growing antimicrobial resistance, which is limiting

Doha – June 10, 2026: Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) and Qatar University (QU) have projected that a future herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) vaccine could substantially reduce oral and genital HSV-1 infections and avert tens of millions of infections over coming decades. The study, titled “Projected Public Health Benefits of a Hypothetical HSV-1 Vaccine in the United States: A Mathematical Modeling Analysis,” was published in the prestigious journal Science Advances and provides the first quantitative assessment of the population-level impact of an HSV-1 vaccine in any population. HSV-1 is one of the w

Doha – December 3, 2025: Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) have published a study demonstrating the use of an advanced nanoparticle-based tool for analyzing human proteins in order to discover both their function and potential drug targets for treating genetic diseases. The research tool, provided by US biotech firm Seer, Inc., is a pioneer in the field of proteomics – the study of human proteins. Researchers believe that understanding the role of proteins in a host of human diseases holds the potential to enable the creation of a new generation of protein-targeting therapies, but analyzing the nature of proteins rem
