Tehran University of Medical Sciences Inaugurates Comprehensive Medical Laboratory
“This laboratory is not only designed to provide specialized services to the public, but also, relying on its scientific and research capacities, has provided a valuable platform for education and treatment,” said Reza Rayees Karam, the president of Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
He underlined the principled design, standard layout and use of modern equipment in the laboratory, and said, “The presence of experienced university professors as specialized human resources has raised the quality of services of this center to the highest scientific level.”
“In addition to improving the quality of education, this laboratory is also fully prepared to support other university medical centers,” Rayees Karam said.
Nearly 2,500 laboratories across Iran are members of the strategic technologies laboratory network of the Iranian Vice-Presidency for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy, an expert said in September.
“The laboratory network was established in 2004 under the supervision of the Iran Nanotechnology Innovation Council upon an order by the then vice-president for science and technology,” Mohammad Zomorrodi, an expert of the laboratory network of strategic technologies of Iran, told ANA.
Noting that Iranian researchers were facing many problems to find the equipment they needed in the province where they worked or studied before the establishment of the network, he said, “Not all universities can have FESEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), so the laboratory network has made it possible to search for the needed equipment and possibilities.”
“At present, nearly 2,500 laboratories across the country are members of this network. Of this amount, 1,800 laboratory centers are definite members of this network,” Zomorrodi said.
