Advanced Medical Technologies and Equipment Institute (AMTEI)

Advanced Medical Technologies and Equipment Institute (AMTEI), affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Science (TUMS) was established in 2016 located in the largest general hospital of the country, Imam Khomeini complex after successful endeavors made by Research Center for Science and Technology in Medicine (RCSTIM) during the years 1994-2016. Following the expansion of RCSTIM’s activities as the first national research center for the applications of science and technology in medicine, two additional research centers were established in 2010; Research Center for Molecular and Cellular Imaging (RCMCI) and Research Center for Biomedical Technology and Robotic (RCBTR) Later, in 2016, these three research centers were integrated, leading to establish AMTEI. By providing a joint research environment for close cooperation of the scientists and clinicians, this institute has created an applied medical research capacity adapted towards clinical needs. Besides, AMTEI owns the first specialized incubation center of medical equipment in Iran that was established in the same line by RCSTIM in 2001.
