UPCOMING SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
I)
Project:
DNA Analyzer & Support Technology
Estimated Sponsorship QR Amount: 650,000
Description: The DNA Analyzer is a machine required for reading the DNA map of samples from plants, animals,
microorganisms, and to record the genetic resources of flora & Fauna of Qatar. The PCR machine is the tool with which the
DNA Analyzer is read. The DNA Analyzer & PCR machines are highly important in translating the DNA map of samples from
plants, animals, microorganisms, and to record the genetic resources of flora & Fauna of Qatar.
This technology is invaluable, due to the potential benefits to the environment, through teaching for faculty & students,
research and for Qatar to register the genetic biological resources of the country. This would assist in maintaining the link
between students/society and the Qatari environment in particular, encouraging all to explore and preserve the environment.
By providing students and faculty with the opportunity to explore and preserve the Qatari biological resources, Qatar
University is realizing its vision, through advancing the cultural and scientific development of the Qatari society while
preserving its Arabic characteristics, and to provide the country with specialists, technicians and experts in various fields, and
equip citizens with knowledge and advanced research methodologies.
