Dr. Hamidieh in his interview with vice-presidency for science and technology
Implementation of the basic strategies for the development of stem cell sciences and technologies
Dr Hamidieh in his interview with vice-presidency for science and technology told about the future plans for stem cell sciences and technologies in Iran. Below is the highlights of his interview:
We have planned to implement 7 basic strategies in the fields of research, education, commercialization, entering knowledge-based companies market, culture promotion, promotion of knowledge-based economy and cell therapy services in order to achieve developments in the field of stem cell sciences and technologies.
Setting up students research centers all over the country
By setting up research centers in schools we are planning to educate future scientists in a way that all human resources in all ages would benefit from the knowledge of the new technologies. Initial research centers will be set up in Tehran and Karaj provinces.
Holding of the second Olympiad of stem cell and regenerative medicine in New Year
With the assistance of the ministry of education we were able to hold the first Olympiad of stem cell and regenerative medicine in Iran the best way. Even though no additional scores was included in this examination we were able to over watch the participation of around 3800 students.
Holding of the university students Olympiad with collaboration of ministry of education and ministry of health and medical education will be the start of the new action of the council for development of stem cell sciences and technologies.
Addressing the quality issue after the development of knowledge-based companies quantity
In the past year the number of knowledge-based companies active in the field of stem cell and regenerative medicine has increased to more than 50 companies.
With regard to the development and growth of knowledge-based companies, investigating the quality of the researchers and technologists of these companies are now a priority in order for them to be able to enter the cycle of science to wealth by expanding their field of work.
We must provide proper training to knowledge-based companies for commercialization. Vice-presidency for science and technology will provide proper space for the growth of researchers and knowledge-based companies.
Issuing of consumer regulations in the field of cell services
Stem cell sciences and technologies are important part of the market. Without proper regulations all products which will be produced in legal ways will not be used without consumption permission. Therefore we will observe the defeat of knowledge-based companies.
Council for development of stem cell sciences and technologies is working actively in order to issue required regulations for cell therapy to eliminate this problem.
Setting up committees for development of stem cell sciences and technologies in more than 10 provinces
In the past year committees in stem cell sciences and technologies was launched in more than 10 provinces. Also 3 institutes in Tehran, Tabriz and Shiraz began their activities in this field. We are planning to pursue our goals by setting up committees in the remaining provinces.
Holding of one-day symposiums in the various fields of stem cell and regenerative medicine
Council for development of stem cell sciences and technologies held various symposiums in the past year with the aid of vice-presidency for science and technology and aims to enter new fields in stem cell sciences and regenerative medicine context.
