Welcome to Medical Biochemistry

You are welcome to the Department of Medical Biochemistry, a top-ranking Department in the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences, College of Medicine, Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti, Nigeria. Established in 2011, the Department has grown tremendously in terms of quality and number of erudite scholars including two Professors, two Associate Professors, three Senior Lecturers and one Lecturer I who is medically qualified.

Primarily, we train medical students the molecular basis of Medicine with a view to producing Medical Doctors with sound knowledge of Biochemistry, which will enhance their capacity in Medical practice. Beside teaching medical students, we also play a pivotal role in the training of Bachelor of Science (BSc.) students from other Departments -Anatomy, Physiology and Nursing in the Faculty. We have a well-equipped laboratory coupled with seasoned Technologists that are involved in the practical demonstration of theoretical teachings. 

At the moment, efforts are on top gear to commence training students in Medical Biochemistry both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
