A testimony to our proud research tradition is the annual faculty output of hundreds of refereed scientific articles and papers delivered in South Africa and abroad. More than 80 master's and 50 doctoral candidates who graduate from our faculty each year constitute a robust cohort of biomedical researchers. A research agenda shaped by strategic research focus areas ensures that our research activities address the major health challenges facing the African continent and the world.
Our faculty aims to continue our contribution to the discovery, sharing and translation of knowledge that will promote health and development; and to develop future biomedical researchers who are engaged citizens and thought leaders.?
