A delegation of leading professors and surgeons from Russia’s Bashkir State Medical University (BSMU) visited SUMS Mohammad Rasulollah (PBUH) Research Tower on Thursday May 15, 2025. The delegation was hosted by a number of SUMS officials including the University’s Vice-Chancellor for Global Strategies and International Affairs (GSIA) and the Head of the Research Tower.

Dr. Manica Negahdaripour, SUMS Vice-Chancellor for GSIA, highlighted that the visit involved a tour of the Tower’s research and laboratory capabilities. Both delegations engaged in discussions and exchanged insights on potential scientific and international collaborations, as well as their respective institutions’ overarching strategies.
