The Department of Medical Cell Biology conducts research and trains doctoral students in cell biology and physiology with a focus on diabetes, pharmacology, inflammation, cancer and neurobiology. We also teach students studying at various programs and independent courses in cell biology, physiology, neurobiology, anatomy and histology.
At the undergraduate level, the department is responsible for the teaching of anatomy, histology, cell biology and physiology for students on the medical program, the pharmacy program, the biomedicine program, the nursing program, the biomedical analyst program, the dietician program, the prescription program and on various independent courses. The department is also responsible for the master's program in biomedicine.
