It is a matter of great honor for me to introduce you to the office of Research, Innovation & commercialization (ORIC) at the DUHS.  Under the guidelines and directives of Higher Education Commission (HEC), DUHS started organizing the research activities by ensuring the availability of a well-established and fully functional ORIC office having the required staff.  The Dow University of Health Sciences has expanded exponentially during the last two decades and has established various academic programs and institutions. Hence, research, innovation, and scholarship have become the hallmark of our university.

Research is indispensable for the field of health sciences because the medical facilities available today are the result of research efforts of several decades by scientists, practitioners, and health professionals. The diligent efforts of health sciences researchers have made it possible to reveal the real causes that underpin fatal diseases. Research has led to the discovery of miraculous medicines and approaches to treating diseases and paving the way for the effective management of emerging health problems.

The faculty of DUHS has the dual responsibility of teaching and training students and contributing to the development of health sciences and healthcare in Pakistan through their research,  creative endeavours,  becoming better thinkers, innovators, and problem solvers, and  cultivating a depth of understanding needed to make a positive difference in themselves and their students.. The Department of Research has always played a pivotal role in encouraging and engaging faculty members and students in accelerating research and innovation through training, development and motivation for a high performance research nationally and internationally.
