RESEARCH TEAMS IN THE SCHOOL OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES
The School of Biological Sciences is currently made of five Departments namely: Animal Biology and Conservation Science (ABCS); Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology (BCMB); Plant and Environmental Biology (PEB); Marine and Fisheries Sciences (MFS); and Nutrition and Food Science (NFS).
The faculty in the School of Biological Sciences collaborate with Industry and universities both local and international in teaching and research. They engage with industry stakeholders by offering contract research and consultancy services aimed at addressing contemporary challenges in the area of conservation, pollution, environmental sustainability and climate change, nutrition, food processing and technology, communicable and non-communicable diseases and natural products.
