February 22, 2026:<\/strong> Students from SparkTank Dimensions<\/strong> proudly represented Alfaisal University at a specialized workshop organized by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA)<\/strong> \u2013 Medical Devices Sector, held at the SFDA<\/strong> Main Building Training Center in Riyadh. Supported by the Office of Research & Innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop focused on strengthening legislation, regulatory oversight, and research in modern biotechnology, digital health, and innovative medical devices. It provided a platform for knowledge exchange and regulatory awareness, highlighting research shaping the future of healthcare in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the event, two SparkTank startups presented their projects at various stages of development \u2014 from early concepts to translational solutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. SparkTank\u00a0Startup Regen Stitch:\u00a0<\/strong>Mohammed Shoaib, Inaam Haque, Malek Handoumeh, Mohammed Abduhu Amer<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. SparkTank Startup Chemomouth:\u00a0<\/strong>Mohammed Rami Shaath and Sarah Haque<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
