In a major breakthrough, a Qatar Biomedical Research Institute (QBRI) team has developed a new line of treatment for diabetes using stem cells.

The world?s first clinical trial for diabetes using stem cells will begin at the Hamad General Hospital later this year.

QBRI researchers have claimed that the findings would realise the dream of providing personalised medical care to diabetics in the country.

In an exclusive interview with Gulf Times, QBRI executive director Dr Abdelali Haoudi said the first clinical trial for diabetes using stem cells would begin at Hamad Hospital ?most probably in six months from now?.
