AEON Clinic positions Dubai as global hub for longevity medicine with pioneering masterclass
With accreditation from both international authorities and the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), the event attracted over 150 medical professionals, researchers, and innovators from across the globe.
Attendees engaged in keynote sessions, case studies, and scientific workshops that explored cutting-edge treatments in age reversal, stem cell therapy, gene editing, mitochondrial medicine, immunotherapy, and photobiomodulation.
A convergence of global expertise
The masterclass featured presentations from more than 30 world-renowned experts, including Prof. David Barzilai, Prof. Brian Kennedy, Dr. Evelyne Bischof, Prof. Karim Nayernia, and Dr. Michael Weber. AEON Clinic's own medical team, including founder Dr. Jaffer Khan, joined the international faculty in showcasing the clinic's approach to integrating regenerative science with luxury patient care.
In addition to the main programme, 60 selected participants received exclusive hands-on training at Atlantis The Royal in specialised workshops ranging from facial harmony injectables and thread lifting to photobiomodulation and ozone therapy.
The event's thematic tracks reflected the broad scope of modern longevity science, including:
Regenerative Medicine & Advanced Therapeutics – exploring stem cells, gene editing, and CRISPR
Precision & Functional Medicine – using genomics and AI for predictive care
Longevity & Biological Age Reversal – diving into age-related biomarkers and lifestyle interventions
Neurodegenerative & Autoimmune Disorders – unveiling treatments for Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and more
Regenerative Aesthetics – demonstrating protocols involving exosomes, threads, and photobiomodulation
Pharmacogenomics & Personalised Medicine – shaping the future of drug response analytics
By emphasising clinical translation, the masterclass aligned with AEON's mission to embed evidence-based, preventive healthcare practices in everyday clinical settings.
Influential participation and strategic support
In attendance were high-level figures from the Dubai Health Authority, including Dr. Younis Mohamed Kazim, CEO of the Health Regulation Sector, and Dr. Latifa Ahmad Al Rustamani, Director of Medical Education & Research. Other notable attendees included Dr. Mariam Mohamed Fatima Matar, Founder & Chairperson of the UAE Genetic Diseases Association, alongside senior executives from Atlantis Resorts.
The event was backed by strategic alliances with institutions such as the American Board of Regenerative Medicine, Geneva College of Longevity Science, and P7Medicine, positioning AEON as the only clinic in the Middle East affiliated with ABRM.
'This masterclass represents a shift – not only in the way we treat ageing and chronic disease but in how we educate, collaborate, and evolve as a medical community,' said Dr. Jaffer Khan, Founder of AEON Clinic.
Following the success of this inaugural event, AEON Clinic has announced plans to host the Next-Generation Medicine Masterclass annually, establishing Dubai as a central node in the global movement toward longevity-first, data-driven healthcare systems.

UAE evacuates 155 patients from Gaza for urgent treatment
The UAE has carried out a medical evacuation from Gaza, transporting 155 patients and their families to receive urgent treatment in the Emirates. It brings the total number of patients and families provided medical care in the UAE to 2,785 since the onset of the war between Israel and Hamas began, state news agency Wam reported. It comes as aid organisations say Israel had in effect blocked the delivery of shelter materials into Gaza for nearly six months, with tent poles previously listed among items Israeli authorities considered could have a military as well as civilian uses. More than 1.3 million Gazans lack tents, the United Nations said this week, and more people are expected to be displaced by an Israeli operation to seize Gaza city. After nearly two years of war, many displaced Palestinians are living in the rubble of their homes or in tents. UAE pledges support Also on Wednesday, the UAE carried out the 76th airdrop into the Gaza Strip in co-operation with Jordan and with the participation of Germany, France, the Netherlands, Singapore and Indonesia. It brings the total amount of airdropped aid to more than 4,020 tonnes of food and humanitarian supplies, state news agency Wam reported. The UAE has provided more than $1.5 billion in financial support to Gaza since the start of the conflict, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said earlier this month. The assistance has included more than 80,000 tonnes of aid to help alleviate the suffering of Gazans facing chronic food shortages and limited access to health care.

Abu Dhabi authority shuts down restaurant for violating food safety laws
A restaurant in Abu Dhabi has been closed for violating food safety laws of the emirate. It was announced on Wednesday, August 20, that the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (Adafsa) issued the "decision to administratively close" Taj Alzumuruda Restaurant, which is located in Al Ain. The authority said that the establishment had violated Law No. (2) of 2008 on food safety in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, and its associated regulations. It added that the restaurant's practices posed "a serious risk to public health." Adafsa said that the restaurant had been given many warnings about food safety violations found by inspectors, and failed to take any action to make corrections. The authority then decided to shut it down in order to safeguard public health. The closure will remain in order until corrective measures are taken to enhance food safety and make sure the regulations are being followed by the establishment. The authority confirmed that the restaurant is allowed to reopen after making the necessary changes.
