Applied Cell Scinces is known as a branch of biological science which is involved in extraction, culture, manipulation and differentiation of cells towards using in treatment of various diseases.
Ph.D. of Applied Cell Sciences
Program Description
Applied cell sciences department seeks a leadership role in applied cell sciences, in stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine, through developing innovative, multidisciplinary collaborative approaches. It is an emerging field that aims at the regeneration of natural tissues using biological cells, biomaterials, biotechnology, and clinical medicine. Training future leaders for education, research and clinical studies using cells specially stem cells is our main goal. Our mission is to accelerate the promise of regenerative medicine by exploring the body’s natural ability to heal itself, which does not seem a very far-fetched idea and we presume a leading role for ourselves in the region in the coming decades.
Duration:
Three or four years full-time at two levels of education and research.
