ABU DHABI, UAE, July 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DoH), the regulator of the healthcare sector in the emirate, and the MIT – Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research have announced a strategic collaboration to advance AI-enabled oncology research, translational science and bioconvergence innovation. Leveraging Abu Dhabi's intelligent life science ecosystem, the partnership will connect world-class research expertise with the infrastructure, talent and capabilities required to accelerate the translation of scientific discovery into real-world impact.
Aligned with UAE's National Cancer Strategy and MIT's research excellence, the partnership aims to advance breakthrough cancer research with an emphasis on addressing climate-health and population-specific oncology challenges. This will be achieved through the development and implementation of large-scale, multi-institutional clinical trials and translational research studies, participation in MIT's Bioconvergence Cancer Alliance and establishment of shared research databases and biobanks enabling population-specific cancer research.
H.E. Dr. Noura Khamis Al Ghaithi, Undersecretary of the DoH, said: "We define innovation by the impact it creates at a population-level. Our partnership with the MIT Koch Institute is built on this principle and focuses on building an all-encompassing sustainable ecosystem that empowers knowledge sharing, scientific discovery and applied innovation. Together, we will advance new approaches to cancer research, talent development and bioconvergence innovation while creating new opportunities to build, test and scale solutions that can benefit patients in Abu Dhabi and around the world."
Matthew Vander Heiden, MD, PhD, Director, MIT's Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT notes: We believe addressing complex health challenges requires collaboration across disciplines, sectors, and geographies and are delighted to welcome our new collaborators in Abu Dhabi to the Alliance. We look forward to connecting MIT's research community with Abu Dhabi's growing healthcare innovation ecosystem, to exploring together new opportunities in oncology, AI and precision medicine, and ultimately to improving patient outcomes.
Beyond research, the collaboration will focus on building the next generation of talent and innovation at the intersection of AI and oncology. Through physician-scientist fellowships, bilateral exchange programmes and joint learning opportunities, DoH and MIT will equip healthcare professionals with advanced capabilities in clinical oncology, artificial intelligence and computational biology. The partnership will also establish a bioconvergence incubator to support the growth of high-potential startups, connecting innovators with mentorship, expertise and investment to accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries into real-world health solutions.

DoH and MIT- Koch Institute Partner to Advance AI-Driven Cancer Research
PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, July 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KuMining, the cloud mining platform powered by global cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin, today announced the launch of ZEC Cloud Mining, expanding its Proof-of-Work product suite while making institutional-grade mining infrastructure more accessible to retail users. By removing the need for hardware ownership and operational management, the new offering lowers the barriers to participating in Zcash mining through a simplified cloud mining experience. The product is now available on the platform, with applications open to eligible users.
ZEC is the native asset of Zcash, a Proof-of-Work blockchain launched in 2016 with a fixed maximum supply of 21 million coins. As ZEC mining typically requires specialized hardware, mining facilities, power resources, and technical operations, KuMining ZEC Cloud Mining is designed to provide users with cloud-based access to ZEC hashrate in a more streamlined way.
Building on its core value of "Simple Mining, Smart Gains," KuMining aims to make industrial-scale mining more transparent, cost-effective and user-friendly. With ZEC Cloud Mining, users can access ZEC hashrate directly through the KuCoin ecosystem, without worrying about hardware procurement, facility setup, pool connection, or technical maintenance. This helps reduce the need for ASIC ownership and turns ZEC mining into a lighter accumulation path for a broader user base.
"Mining has historically been limited by access to specialized hardware, infrastructure, and operational expertise," said Jolie Du, Chief Operating Officer of KuMining. "Our goal is to make professional mining infrastructure accessible to more users, so participation is no longer defined by who owns the most equipment, but by who wants to take part in the Proof-of-Work ecosystem. The launch of ZEC Cloud Mining is another step toward lowering barriers and giving users more ways to participate in digital asset mining through a simpler and more accessible experience."
A key feature of the product is its "mine first, pay electricity later" model, which helps reduce upfront cost pressure and creates a more flexible participation path. Instead of purchasing ZEC at a single market price, users can accumulate mining output gradually over the contract period, subject to network conditions and product rules.
The launch reflects KuMining's broader commitment to building accessible mining infrastructure for the crypto community. By simplifying access to hashrate and reducing reliance on hardware ownership, KuMining aims to bring mining participation closer to real users and support a more inclusive Proof-of-Work ecosystem.
