What is PORTAL?
PORTAL or the Public Office for Research Translation and Liaison is a brand-new department with the aim to inform the public in a transparent way about the important work happening at Dasman Diabetes Institute (DDI) by various research groups and leaders. In addition, it aims at enhancing the participation of the public in research.
BREAKTHROUGH IN RESEARCH can only be achieved with the willingness of people to participate in discoveries for the benefit of all humanity. For Kuwaitis, this is embedded in our culture and religion and our vision at PORTAL is to encourage the Kuwaiti population to be involved and participate in research.
