Medical Research Unit

Established in 1989 as multi-purpose laboratories with the aim of conducting directed research projects in the medical field, in addition to supporting postgraduate projects with the necessary equipment, materials, and expertise.

The unit consists of four divisions: Histopathology, Genetics and Molecular Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Parasitology, and Immunology. Each of these divisions specializes in advanced research aspects.

The activities of these divisions harmonize with each other and with the general objectives of the Faculty of Medicine to which the unit belongs.

Keeping pace with the rapid development in scientific research, the unit is keen to develop its staff through periodic training inside and outside the country, as well as equipping modern devices such as HPLC and PCR.
