Thumbay Group has partnered with Switzerland’s Geneva College of Longevity Science (GCLS) to introduce the UAE’s first structured academic programmes in longevity medicine through the newly established Thumbay Institute of Longevity Medicine at Gulf Medical University.

The collaboration will offer six hybrid professional certificate programmes covering clinical longevity medicine, physiotherapy, nutrition, fitness, peptide medicine, and artificial intelligence in healthcare. Designed for healthcare professionals, the courses combine Swiss-developed curricula with Gulf Medical University’s clinical training and simulation facilities.

The partnership also aims to advance longevity research, innovation, and professional development while supporting the UAE’s ambition to become a regional hub for preventive healthcare, precision medicine, and medical innovation. Future plans include joint conferences, workshops, and academic initiatives.

Our vision is to transform Gulf Medical University from the No. 1 private medical university in the Gulf into the world’s leading medical university.”

Dr. Dominik Thor, President, Geneva College of Longevity Science said: “Longevity medicine is becoming an essential component of modern healthcare, but the field urgently needs education, clinical standards, and credible training infrastructure. Through partnerships with leading universities, GCLS is helping to establish the academic foundations globally, and Gulf Medical University is the ideal partner to build that infrastructure in the Middle East.”

Admissions are open for the 2026–2027 intake, with the first cohort expected to begin in September and October 2026.
