Prof. Dr. Khalid Usman

Faculty of Basic Sciences is a premier Centre of education and research. It is comprised of 6/7 Departments focused on integrated areas of research and education. The rigorous undergraduate, graduate and post graduate programs emphasis broad subject competence and performance, opening new vistas of education to the young learners. Multidisciplinary research and academic opportunities are offered in the areas of Pathology, Anatomy, Biochemistry, Community Medicine, Forensic Medicine, Physiology, and Pharmacology

A key to our success has been our ability to recruit dynamic, award-winning faculty, thus ensuring that our promising research and educational programs will continue to grow in excellence with an infusion of new ideas and new energy. The team of faculty members along with the capable administration is committed to place the Faculty of basic Sciences at the forefront of scientific innovation with high standards of excellence in teaching and research.

Faculty members are engaged and committed to cutting edge research on wide variety of subjects such as Pathology, Anatomy, Biochemistry, Community Medicine, Forensic Medicine, Physiology, and Pharmacology. Our educational mission extends to developing the complete person, not just the young scientist. I welcome all entrants and assure them very fulfilling and rewarding experience of NMU. I would also like to reaffirm our commitment to our value based integrated approach in Research and academics. My prayers go out to all the best future seekers intending to join our institute.
