Mr. Ismail Haririan received his Ph.D. from Tabriz State University (Iran) in 1986 under the title of study on SAR (Structure-Activity Relationship) of Drug Molecules. He worked as a quality laboratory manager as well as research and development manager at Razak Pharmaceutical Company (Iran) and then as a head of the drug design research group at DaruPhakhsh Company (Iran). Between the years 1989-1994, he received his philosophy doctorate (Ph.D) in the field of solid mechanics from the School of Pharmacy in London and returned to his country in 1994, he joined Tehran Faculty of Pharmacy as an assistant professor. He was promoted to associate professor in 2000 and full professor in 2011. In 2016, he collaborated with a number of other faculty members of Tehran University to establish the Biomaterials Research Center (BRC) and after some time, he established the Pharmaceutical Biomaterials Department in the Faculty of Pharmacy of Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS), 2013. Apart from some important scientific works on new drug delivery systems and physicomechanical studies on some polymer films, his attention was focused on biological materials and nanotechnology. In 2006, he collaborated with a number of other faculty members of the University of Tehran to establish the Biomaterials Research Center (BRC) and after some time, he established the Department of Pharmaceutical Biomaterials in the Faculty of Pharmacy of Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) at 2013. This allowed him to enter the new field of investigating cancer gene therapy and drug targeting by using biodegradable polymeric/non-polymeric drug carriers (biomaterials). His efforts to educate and research of many Ph.D students led to the publication of more than 100 original articles and conference papers. He is the judge of several prestigious magazines in his field of expertise. He is the founder of the novel field of pharmaceutical biomaterials as a new field in the Faculty of Pharmacy of Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) and also the head of the research center of Medical Biomaterials Research Center (MBRC) in Tehran University of Medical Sciences. In his last effort, he cooperated in establishing the educational and research institute of biomaterials between the universities of Tehran (UT) and Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) named IBUTUMS for postgraduate studies and has been appointed as its director since 2015.
