Humanity’s efforts throughout history have always been directed toward its own survival and the ecosystem in which it lives. The formation of various businesses has also been driven by this goal. Some professions aim to improve the quality of survival, while others focus on increasing its quantity. A craftsman, a teacher, a driver, or a secretary in an office—all strive to enhance the quality and well-being of life through their services. However, the medical profession and its related fields, along with the professors and students who work in this area, not only contribute to improving the quality of survival but prioritize the extension and quantity of life. Increasing the life of a loved one who suffers from a terminal illness, even for just one extra day, is a great blessing, and if this leads to a complete cure, what blessing could possibly compare to it?

Certainly, professions related to medicine carry this critical responsibility, and in this context, the field of medical nanotechnology plays an outstanding role. Based on this, our group considers it our duty to encourage students to recognize the problems and health threats using nanotechnology and with the help of experienced and committed professors, guiding research projects and theses, and developing tools and systems on the nanoscale to address these threats.

On the other hand, given the need for research and clinical centers to organize educational courses with the assistance of basic science groups, there was a strong need for a connection between clinical sectors and basic science research. By establishing multi-member research teams, fundamental research such as the formulation of nanodrugs, the establishment of diagnostic and therapeutic centers based on nanomedicine, and the production of nanomedicine products in factories have been focused on. Therefore, the education and development of graduates in advanced degrees such as master's and doctoral programs (PhD) was considered essential.

Based on this, the master's degree program in Medical Nanotechnology was approved by the Secretariat of Basic Medical Sciences in 2006, and subsequently, in 2007, the approval for the first PhD program in Medical Nanotechnology was granted.

The vision of training the specialized workforce needed by the country at the master’s and PhD levels in the field of medical nanotechnology, conducting fundamental and applied research to create knowledge and wealth, and providing specialized services and consultations to governmental and private organizations and centers is one of the goals of this academic program.

Our mission is to contribute to the development and improvement of public health and to enhance the academic position of the university on national and international platforms by creating a suitable environment for learning and teaching new medical technologies to students. We also aim to train graduates who can perform tasks in the educational, research, advisory, production, and medical service sectors with a nanotechnology approach. Utilizing the latest global resources and facilities for conducting fundamental and applied research, we strive to establish active communication with policymakers and research and technology authorities of the country.

We are determined to attract talented students, provide structured educational programs, and promote and institutionalize applied research, positioning ourselves as one of the most influential and leading faculties at both national and international levels. Using modern technologies to generate knowledge and wealth, we aim to serve the improvement of public health.
