Program Description
Tissue engineering is an emerging field that aims at the regeneration of natural tissues using biological cells and biomaterials to contribute to biotechnology, and clinical medicine. Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field which uses the knowledge of engineering and other related fields to develop biological substitutes for restoring tissues and organs. Tissue engineering involves the use of living cells to develop biological substitutes for tissue replacements with the ultimate goal of regeneration and repairing the damaged organs. The School of Advanced Technologies in Medicine was established in 2009 at Tehran University of Medical Sciences. In the Tissue Engineering Department of the school, multi disciplinary investigations are conducted in a broad range of the different scientific fields. The main mission of the course is training committed, knowledgeable and competent graduates in tissue engineering.
