About us
To advance knowledge and promote the development and application of emerging technologies in modern healthcare, Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences (SKUMS) established the School of Advanced Technologies in 2017. The Faculty offers Master of Science (M.Sc.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) programs in interdisciplinary fields of modern medical sciences and technologies. The Faculty began its academic activities with the admission of students to the molecular Medicine program. Subsequently, the Faculty expanded its academic programs to include medical Biotechnology, tissue engineering, and nanomedicine, responding to the growing demand for interdisciplinary expertise in emerging areas of biomedical science and healthcare technology. Given the interdisciplinary nature of its educational programs, the Faculty benefits from the collaboration of full-time and affiliated faculty members from diverse academic and scientific disciplines.
