ead of the labs and work-
of the Islamic Azad University
says: “This year, the specialized engineering laboratory,
designed for M.A. and Ph.D.
courses, will be established to
run officially. Approximately
700 million Toman was dedicated to the establishment of
this laboratory which is worth
noticing, considering that it
has taken place in the northwestern area of Iran.”
Regarding the conditions of
the laboratories in this university, Samad Karami stated:
“Currently, Urmia branch of
the Islamic Azad University
has 45 specialized laboratories and three specialized clinics devoted to the small and
large livestock.”
Karami also talked about the
cooperation with other educational institutes and universities, adding: “Urmia branch
has lab equipment of highquality and is well prepared to
cooperate with the students of
other scientific and research
institutes in research projects. This branch has hosted
several teams of researchers
from different universities
who wanted to carry out their
research projects.”
Head of labs of Urmia branch
concluded by mentioning
SAHA program, adding: “Full
information of all the laboratorial equipment, workshop
capabilities, and personnel
has been registered on SAHA
system. Those who are willing
to cooperate with us could go
on this system and review the
required information.”

eputy of medical sciences of
the Islamic Azad University visited pharmaceutics faculty of Arak
branch and its laboratories, also
discussed current issued of this
faculty in a meeting with the director and authorities of the said branch. In this meeting,
Dr. Ali Abtahi said: “In the past two years, Islamic Azad University has undergone significant development in a number of the counties
and Arak branch is one of them. The visit of
the pharmaceutics faculty and Razi laboratories shows that even though IAU earns its
credits through the student tuitions, this university has made great progress in comparison to its early days. The most eye-catching
part of this progress has been done in the
past two years.”
Dr. Abtahi claimed that Arak branch of the Islamic Azad University has great potential and
capacities, continuing: “This branch has numerous courses of science and medical programs, and this vast expertise makes it the
best option for offering new, interdisciplinary
courses. Dr. Mirzadeh, chairman of the uni-
D
versity, has high expectations from a number
of branches; one of them is Arak branch. We
hope to receive more help in realizing the potentials of this branch in the near future.”
Eyeing Higher Ranks
Dr. Abtahai remarked that the medical sciences have shown slow progress in Arak and
its neighboring provinces. He went on: “In
this area, there is great need for medical programs. Great facilities of this branch and high
motivation of the staff and professors of Arak
branch is a rare example in this area and local
centers of higher education.
The efforts shown by Dr. Nezam-abadi, director of Arak branch, have been influential in
this regard.”
Dr. Nezam-abadi, director of Arak branch,
mentioned that most of the students in the
area are enrolled in this branch of the Islamic
Azad University, stating: “There are more
than 106,000 students active in this province, more than 50% of whom enrolled in
the Islamic Azad University. Also, 58% of the
graduate students in this province are also

against Iran. The British Bankers’ Association (BBA)
has accordingly agreed to form a working group to
examine the issue. The initiative was adopted at a

against investments in the country. It also follows
pressures from the government on the banks to expand links with Tehran ahead of a trade visit to Iran
led by Sajid Javid, the Business Secretary, which
is due to take place next month. But Sky News has
emphasized in its report that many BBA members,
which include UK-headquartered and international
banks with operations in Britain, have expressed
unease about forging closer ties with Iran.
pursuing their studies in Arak branch.”
Nezam-abadi added: “According to the latest
reports of Scimago data bank, Arak branch
of the Islamic Azad University has earned the
57th rank among 100 universities and institutions of the country in regard to research and
science production; also 8th position among
all the branches of Islamic Azad University. In
the past year, we have improved this rank and
have improved our standing to stand on 6th
place. We are planning to continue our development and achieve a standing among the top
three IAU branches.”
He further added: “Arak branch of the Islamic
Azad University is the most credible university in the area and the largest university branch
in regard to educational space, students of
undergraduate and postgraduate programs,
SAMA schools, faculty members, and the
staff. This branch is committed to training
the skilled human resources, science production, solving the problems of the province and
development of the country, through carrying
out a variety of educational and research programs and hosting cultural events.”
Russia Expects Rise in Iran Food Imports

ussia says that it has received assurances
ports of food items. “Iran solemnly promises: we’ll
replace the whole of Turkey in the deliveries of perishable goods to Russia,” said Russia’s Federal Customs Service Chief, Andrei Belyaninov. Belyaninov
suggested that this will be part of a new arrangement between Iran and Russia that would in a later
stage entail the opening of a green corridor between
the two countries. “We’ll go there [to Iran] in May to
sign a green corridor deal,” ITAR-TASS news agency
quoted the official as saying.

in this branch. Two centers of
maritime sciences and oil and

“Greenhouse cultivation in an
area of 50 hectares in Khormoj

and the greenhouse of Bushehr
branch are both examples of the
activities followed in line with
this decree.” Referring to tourism as a possible activity due to
the local capacities, Dr. Qeisari
went on: “Alishahr dormitory,

with a base of over 7,000 sq/

2,500 guests; adding the other
dormitory of the university to
this, Bushehr branch could host

“The educational complex of

early part of the next year.”

esearchers of the Isfahan

sensor out of gold nano-particles which is applicable in early
diagnosis of leukemia. Professor
Ali-Asghar Ensafi referred to the
advantages of the electrochemical diagnosis methods and the
purpose of this project, saying:
“Due to high selectivity, sensitivity and affordability, the electrochemical methods have gain
significant importance in this
field. The purpose of this project
is to produce and introduce a
bio-sensor for making a distinction between two types of cancer
cells. This sensor operates based
on electrochemical impedance
spectroscopy, which in addition
to high speed and sensitivity, is
cost effective.”
In this project, the surface of
the sensor has been modified
through gold nano-particles.
Also, part of the ZAP70 gene
has been fixed unto its surface.
The complementary gene of the
said one could be used in both
states of mutated or otherwise.
Considering the mutation of the
complementary gene, the main
gene would react differently;
this very variation is the basis
of the quantitative and qualitative analysis.Ensafi noted the
production stages of this sensor and went on: “First, the gold
nano-particles are set on the
surface of the electrode of gold.
Then, the DNA probe is also put
on the electrode. After that, the
infrastructural examinations are
conducted on the surface, which
indicate the fixation of the gold
nano-particles on the electrode’s
surface.”
