History:
Department of Tissue Engineering was established in 2016 as a subgroup of medical genetics at the Medicine Faculty, Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences. In 2017, it was announced as an independent group of university. Department of Tissue Engineering are offering programs in PhD degree for “Tissue Engineering”. Currrently, five PhD students are training in this Department.
The developing field of tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary and relies on knowledge from clinical medicine, biomaterials sciences, mechanical engineering, chemistry engineering and genetics. Tissue engineering exerts the principles of engineering and biological sciences to develop biological substitutes that can mimic natural tissue to regenerate or improve tissue or whole organ function. The tissue engineering aims to regenerate damaged or diseased tissues using Cells, Biological Molecules, Scaffolds and Bioreactors. The scaffolds are used as templates for tissue regeneration to guide the growth of new tissue. Scaffolds have been fabricated by natural, synthetic, or semisynthetic biomaterials and cell lines or stem cells have been applied in this field.
Perspective:
Our mission is offering appropriate education and research programs to train innovative students in Tissue Engineering and Cell Therapy fields in order to enable students to collaborate with hospital, clinics, industry and companies.
Vision:
Vision of the Tissue Engineering and Cell Therapy is enabling students to reach high levels of scientific achievements in order to work in national and international Laboratories, Companies or Universities after graduating.
1) Offering the best education and research curriculums.
2) Training students to learn Tissue Engineering and Cell Therapy with high levels of theoretical knowledge and practical activities.
3) Collaborating with other research centers and faculties in Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences and other universities in Iran and the world (Collaborating with Research Centers and Universities in Iran and the world).
