About us

Partners

Collaboration with academic institutions, healthcare providers and research organisations — within Pakistan and internationally — is written into our founding mandate.

Our approach

Collaboration as an obligation, not an option

Our third founding objective commits the Center to collaborate and engage with academic institutions, healthcare providers and research organisations, both within Pakistan and internationally, and to disseminate research findings on a non-profit basis.

That framing is deliberate. A non-profit research centre working on access to diagnostics cannot be effective in isolation. Clinical questions come from healthcare providers. Study populations are reached through public health systems. Methods are strengthened by external validation. Findings only change practice if others adopt them.

Our partner institutions will be listed here

We are finalising the terms of our institutional collaborations. Naming organisations before those arrangements are formally agreed would misrepresent both them and us, so this page will be published once agreements are in place. If your institution would like to explore working together, we would be glad to hear from you.

Forms of partnership

Ways institutions work with us

Partnerships take different shapes depending on what each side brings.

Academic institutions

Joint research programmes, shared supervision of students, access to specialist instrumentation, and co-authored publications.

Healthcare providers

Clinical questions, sample access under appropriate ethical approval, referral pathways for subsidised testing, and translational studies.

Research organisations

Multi-site studies, method validation across laboratories, shared protocols and data standards.

Public sector bodies

Population health research, evidence for policy, and support to existing public health programmes.

Industry

Co-development of diagnostic systems and biomaterials where the resulting product remains affordable and accessible.

International collaborators

Exchange of researchers, access to techniques not yet established locally, and joint funding applications.
Getting started

How a partnership begins

  • 01

    Initial contact

    Tell us who you are, what you work on, and what a collaboration might look like from your side.

  • 02

    Scoping conversation

    We discuss scientific fit, what each party contributes, and whether the aims are genuinely compatible.

  • 03

    Formal agreement

    Scope, responsibilities, ethical approvals, data handling and publication rights are agreed in writing.

  • 04

    Programme begins

    Work starts under the agreed terms, with named contacts and review points on both sides.
