About Us

The Department of Basic Medical Sciences consist of four disciplines: Anatomy, Biochemistry, Pharmacology and Physiology. The merging of the four disciplines took place in 1997/98, with the aim of creating a department that would be more economically viable, as the merger would result in the pooling resources, both human and financial. This relatively young department has done fairly well since the merger, producing sixteen (16) MPhiL students and eleven (11) PhD students. Total publications (referred) over the six year period is approximately seventy seven (77).

Outstanding researchers who have retired include Prof E A Kean (The mode of action of hypoglycin), Prof H Coore (Enzymology), and Prof M West (Anti-glaucoma drugs) .

Outstanding current researchers include Prof E Y Morrison (Diabetes mellitus), Prof R Young (Human and Comparative Physiology), Prof H Reid (Clinical Haemorheology) and Prof H Asemota (Storage improvement of tropical tuber crops-yams).
