Introduction

Medical biotechnology is application of biological agents and living cells in research and production of diagnostic and pharmaceutical products, which contributes to the treatment and prevention of human diseases. Some of the applications of medical biotechnology include production of recombinant proteins and monoclonal antibodies, gene therapy and genetic manipulations, stem cells and tissue engineering.

Goal and Mission:

In this specialty field, students learn about a wide range of concepts in specialized areas, including cellular technology, bioprocess, and molecular analysis. In addition, students are familiarized with the application of these methods in specific medical or pharmaceutical areas, including discovering and designing new medications, immunology, regenerative medicine and treatment of infectious diseases.

The most important goal of medical biotechnology field is improving the level of knowledge of medical biotechnology according to the medical needs of the country and creating a believable attitude among other medical orientations. This can help the formation of new medical-molecular approaches in the country by engaging the scientific and practical capabilities of different medical orientations, in a way that scientific and practical teachings of medical biotechnology field could be applied along with other medical orientations in the area of biotechnology and genetic engineering.
