Dr. Hatim Alabbas

Welcome to my professional space. I am Dr. Hatim Alabbas, an acknowledged authority in immunology, immunogenetics, histocompatibility, and cellular therapy, with over two decades of dedicated expertise. My work is driven by a clear vision: to advance healthcare through thoughtful innovation, rigorous research, and an unwavering commitment to clinical excellence. As the Head of the M42 Cord Blood Bank at Mubadala G42 Healthcare, I oversee strategic initiatives, quality assurance, and laboratory operations. This position allows me to align cutting-edge science with the highest standards of patient care, ensuring meaningful progress in the field of regenerative medicine.

Throughout my career, I have laid foundations that continue to shape the landscape of immunogenetics and cellular therapy. I established Sudan’s first dedicated Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics Research Laboratory at Ahfad University and the Pathology Department at Royal Care Hospital. My work introducing Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) HLA technology to the Dubai Health Authority marked a turning point in the region’s immunogenetics capabilities, setting new benchmarks for precision and innovation.

Beyond my clinical and operational contributions, I hold academic roles as an adjunct faculty member at Mohammed Bin Rashid University in the UAE and a Visiting Professor at the University of Khartoum. My involvement extends to the Arab Society of Histocompatibility and Immunogenomics, as well as serving on the UAE National Committee for Cord Blood and Stem Cells, where I contribute to shaping policy and advancing the field.

My academic path – spanning a BSc in Medical Laboratory Science, an MSc and PhD in Immunology, and a Diplomate of the American Board of Regenerative Medicine—reflects my lifelong dedication to expanding the boundaries of knowledge and practice. Thank you for visiting this space. I look forward to connecting with you.
