| | Department of Biochemistry Thanks Benefactors |    | | | The Head of the Department of Biochemistry, Prof. Sammy Sackey, has on behalf of the Department, expressed gratitude to all their benefactors for the year. According to Prof. Sackey, the teaching of Science is expensive and lack of equipment makes teaching the subject difficult. It is therefore so gratifying to have stakeholders donate funds, equipment and books to facilitate teaching and learning.
He outlined the donations as follows:
- A Microscope valued at $100,000 from Olympus Corporation through the American Society for Cell Biology
- Books (12 copies of Lehninger: Principles of Biochemistry ,4th Edition with CDs for teachers) from Prof Michael M. Cox, University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA
- Books (10 copies of Essential Cell Biology, Second Edition, Edited by Bruce Alberts et al) From the American Society for Cell Biology
- A dual viewer Microscope with camera with coupler to PC from the Lab of Prof Keith Gull, Oxford University
- A crate of more than 100 assorted Biochemistry text books from the Lab of Prof Keith Gull, Oxford University
Funding support for acquisition of office equipment (printers etc) from the American Society for Cell Biology

Prof. Sackey said such donations were very useful for the training of more students, to contribute more to the development of Science, especially as the Department prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary in a year and half. He said the Department would soon move to its new building so that they could increase student intake from the current number of 40 to 100. | | | | Date Published: 24/12/2009 | | | |   |
