DEPARTMENT
OF ANATOMY
Anatomy is a science that deals
with the organisation of biomolecules
into cells, which in turn are
organized to form tissues, organs
and organ systems in animals
and man. Knowledge of anatomy
is of fundamental importance
for biology and medicine, and
contributes to the greater understanding
of living and pathological processes.
The Department of Anatomy is
responsible for teaching medical,
paramedical as well as graduate
students enrolled in the B.Sc.,
M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs. The
Department engages in a wide
range of basic and applied research
including neuroscience (neuronal
pathways, neurodegeneration
mechanism of addiction), human
and animal parasitology (liver
flukes and blood flukes), reproductive
biology of mammals (differentiation
of germ cells, development of
non-hormonal contraceptives),
development and pathology of
kidney, reproductive biotechnology
(in vitro fertilization and
embryo transfer, improvement
of reproductive capacity of
prawn, abalone and frog through
hormonal manipulations).

DEPARTMENT
OF BIOCHEMISTRY
The Department of Biochemistry
offers international graduate
programs at the Master and
Ph.D. levels. Founded more
than 40 years ago, the department
has played a prominent role
in the development of biochemical
research and academic activities
in Thailand.
There are currently 21 faculty
members, many of whom have
been recognized with international,
national, and university awards.
Research activities are always
vigorously undertaken in our
department and result in numerous
publications in international
journals every year. A large
number of our student alumni
have achieved their careers
in the governmental sector
as lecturers in universities
or researchers in research
institutes while others have
chosen their careers in food,
pharmarceutical, cosmetic,
and chemical industries.

DEPARTMENT
OF BIOLOGY
The Department of Biology
seeks to promote profound
understanding of living organisms
and their environment, and
a desire to use this understanding
to improve our own long-term
survival and welfare.
The undergraduate program
covers a wide range of basic
and applied training for students’
future careers in governmental
and industrial organizations
or future graduate study.
Biology major students learn
the fundamentals of living
organisms, be it plant, animals
or microorganisms, from biomolecules,
cells, organisms and populations
with special emphasis on interaction
between organisms in the ecosystem,
as well as on the effects
of environmental changes and
conservation biology.

DEPARTMENT
OF BIOTECHNOLOGY
Biotechnology is a science
that exploits living organisms
or components of living organisms
to make useful products. Biotechnology
promises to revolutionalize
the agricultural, industrial,
health and environmental sectors.
The Department offers a four
year curriculum leading to a
B.Sc. in Biotechnology. The
program provides basic course
work and also includes two months
of industrial training and a
senior research project on the
application of biotechnology
in areas relevant to national
development.
The Department also undertakes
active research programs that
emphasize links with the Thai
industrial sector. These research
projects take advantage of our
state-of-the-art capabilities
in biotechnology areas that
include genetic engineering,
industrial biotechnology, food
biotechnology, plant biotechnology
and bioprocess engineering.

DEPARTMENT
OF MATHEMATICS
The Department of Mathematics
offers a B.Sc. degree in Mathematics,
an M.Sc. degree in Applied Mathematics,
and a doctoral degree in Mathematics.
The B.Sc. program aims at providing
students with knowledge in both
basic and advanced areas of
mathematics. Undergraduates
are also taught to apply their
mathematical knowledge to other
fields of interest. |

DEPARTMENT
OF MICROBIOLOGY
The Department of Microbiology
provides instruction both at
M.Sc. and Ph.D levels. The Department
places a strong emphasis on
research and the programs offer
a very wide range of expertise,
covering the main areas of microbiology
including immunology, bacteriology,
virology, mycology and parasitology.
We are proud of our Thai as
well as foreign graduates who
have gone on to careers in teaching
and research at various universities
in Thailand, Southeast Asian
and African countries. Some
have joined private industry,
where there is an ever-increasing
demand for qualified personnel
with skill and expertise in
these fields. |

DEPARTMENT
OF PATHOBIOLOGY
The Pathobiology Department
offers graduate work leading
to Master's Degree and Doctor
of Philosophy degree in Pathobiology.
In addition, the Department
serves as the coordinator for
the interdepartmental graduate
program in Toxicology, and a
joint program leading to the
Ph.D.-M.D. Degree.
The curriculum is designed to
prepare students for a professional
career in research and teaching
in pathobiological science,
pathology and pathology-related
fields. Emphasis is on the basic
principles and the pathogenesis
of disease processes. Graduates
will be able to perform their
own research as well as to teach
in medical schools on the principles,
diagnosis, treatment and prevention
of human diseases.

DEPARTMENT
OF PHARMACOLOGY
The Department offers M.Sc.
and Ph.D. programs in Pharmacology.
Moreover, the department serves
as a coordinator for the Interdepartmental
curriculum, the Integrated Medical
Curriculum and the Graduate
Program in Toxicology.
Graduate programs in Pharmacology
are designed to provide students
with comprehensive knowledge
in Pharmacology, which is achieved
by emphasis on the carefully-planned
teaching and the diversified
interdisciplinary research.
