The Department of Biomedical and Health Sciences is devoted to understanding the human body and our ability to control it during health and disease. Biomedical scientists are the hub of incredible advances in modern medical science. Biomedical scientists provide the foundation of modern healthcare and play a crucial role in medical laboratory sciences/services to clinical application. By understanding how the human body works and what goes wrong in disease, biomedical scientists apply their knowledge to develop new treatments and technologies. Biomedical and Health Sciences covers everything from the gene to whole body systems including cell and molecular biology, genetics, physiology, pharmacology, anatomy, developmental biology, neuroscience, virology systems biology and vaccine development.

The Department of Biomedical & Health Sciences teaching is arranged in four disciplines.

(1) Medical Biotechnology: This focuses on cell biology and clinical laboratory sciences

(2) Public Health- Epidemiology: encompassing population disease modeling on communicable and non-communicable diseases.

(3) Disease Prevention & Control: this is a specialized public health discipline focusing on parasites and vectors, environment and occupation health.

(4) Medical Forensics: this employs detective skills in clinical practice, tracking substance abuse, and solving other mysteries
