The Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Tehran University of Medical Sciences School of Public Health traces its roots to 1966. Initially part of the Health Research Institute and the School of Public Health, it became an independent department in 1971, merging Epidemiology with Statistics. Led by Dr. Nahapetian, it has since grown to become the Middle East's oldest and largest School of Public Health, renowned for its 50-year legacy of excellence. Notably, its graduates excel nationally and globally in health fields, influenced by esteemed faculty. Offering both Epidemiology and Biostatistics programs, the department currently serves over 60 doctoral and close to 80 master's students, solidifying its prominence in public health and medicine.
