Dr. Bagher Larijani, TUMS Chancellor, who two years ago named the chair of infectious diseases after Professor Yalda and was addressed in Professor Ranjbar’s speech as a person who deservedly endears the past and present scholars of the University, congratulated the Foundation for their initiative. Dr. Larijani compared Professor Yalda to a shining star that has lit the way in medicine with his 50 years of dedication and tireless efforts. He later emphasized that the institute’s achievements have been made possible by its hardworking faculties putting it ahead of other higher education institutes in the region.
