History:
Educational Laboratory no. 1 was established in 1400 as the School of the School of Advanced Technologies moved to the site of the School building in Rahmatieh Complex with the efforts of the experienced faculty members of the School.
For the development of the physical space, increase of the equipment and improvement of the laboratory techniques, another space (Educational Laboratory no. 2) was considered for the establishment of cell culture departments.
Currently, the two laboratories are located on the second floor of the School of Advanced Technologies.
Perspective:
- Providing necessary conditions and laboratory facilities to facilitate educational and research processes;
- Satisfying the educational and research needs of students, researchers and professors;
- Promotion and development of educational and research activities;
-Production of knowledge;
- Empowering students and researchers in doing educational and research work;
- Providing scientific resources.
Vision:
In addition to training students and researchers at different levels and expanding student research as the main focus of their activity Educational Laboratories no. 1 and 2 of the School are trying to teach development skills in the fields of communication and scientific thinking; and promote innovative skills, entrepreneurship, as well as professional culture and ethics in the educational setting and train efficient and committed-to-society workforce.
