The HOD's Welcome Note
Prof. OTITOJU OLAWALE
Head of Department
Welcome speech
Biochemistry is one of the most interesting science courses that bring to your reach the interface and connectivity between Chemistry and Biology; no doubt it is the mother of all sciences, being the chemistry of life.
Our Department is as young as the University itself. However, we are committed to building a world of Biochemistry that will permeate all spheres of life. Our curriculum is a blend of all aspects of Biochemistry, so rich and highly packed with modern topics such as Bioinformatics, molecular Biology, Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology to provide our students with a broad range of choices. Our mission is to prepare undergraduate and post-graduate students for productive careers in Industry, Academia, and Government by providing an excellent environment for teaching, learning, and research in the theory and applications of Biochemistry.
I therefore welcome all our students to the Department and wish you all a fruitful stay for your studies.
