Pharmaceutical Biomaterials

Program Description:

Biomaterials are non-living materials that are designed to treat or diagnose diseases by interacting with the biological system of the body. This type of study, with a history of 50 years, is taught as a field of study at the master's and doctoral levels of Biomaterials Sciences, and Biomaterials Engineering in reliable universities around the world.

Biomaterials, which is a unique interdisciplinary specialty (with an interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and trans disciplinary essence); pursues the goals of development, expansion, creation of software and hardware infrastructure, training efficient specialists, eliminating the country dependence and localization in the country, and creating the necessary platform for the flourishing and emergence of valuable and efficient innovations, following logical and purposeful principles.

Over the past 44 years in the world and considering the increasing importance of biomaterials, there has been a great deal of attention paid to education and research in the subcategory of biomaterials such as polymers, ceramics, metals, composites and glass. Biomaterials has been established in most reliable universities in Europe, America and even Turkey, Malaysia, India and ..., as specialized trends in dedicated departments or in the form of research centers and biomaterial quality control institutes.

Increasing in the findings and deep understanding of biological systems, advance in the knowledge of the biomolecules and cells with materials interactions, as well as significant progress in the design and manufacture of new materials with controllable and predictable properties, have prompted pharmaceutical researchers to engage in the design, production, and application of biocompatible materials with biological systems with a clinical perspective for the purpose of diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.

The interdisciplinary field of pharmaceutical biomaterial, as the intersection of modern chemistry, molecular cell biology, engineering methods and regenerative medicine, along with pharmaceutics, promises to optimize novel drug delivery systems. The use of mechatronics and the use of mechanical elements of sensors and actuators, along with electronic knowledge, allows pharmaceutical science to explore new methods for drug/gene monitoring in the in vivo environment, which in the long term will lead to a revolution in the pharmaceutical industry. In such a way that achieving a personalized drug strategy by designing specialized miniature

:Objectives

In order to achieve the goals of the comprehensive program of justice, excellence, and efficiency in medical education; the following can be mentioned as expected goals and extensive educational and research activities in this field, in addition to promoting the science of pharmaceutical biomaterial and its localization in the country:

1. Responding to the needs of design, production and evaluation of biopharmaceuticals in the country
2. Moving towards creating self-sufficiency and preventing the outflow of foreign exchange
3. Making the country's creative and young human resources more efficient and preventing brain drain
4. Correcting the traditional trend of postgraduate research and establishing a policy to make student projects efficient in order to solve the country's problems and needs
5. Establishing financial independence for government postgraduate education in the field of biopharmaceuticals and creating capital for the implementing institution through accepting students based on their interest and ability to implement a research project between the universities and various industrial pharmaceutical centers which are providing the fund
6. Creating technical knowledge to produce a new product or supplement and evaluate existing products as the goal of a thesis which are approved by educational, research, commercial, industrial and private centers in the country.
