About CAMRET
CENTRE FOR ADVANCE MEDICAL RESEARCH AND TRAINING (CAMRET).
The Centre for Advanced Medical Research and Training (CAMRET) is a premier research facility established in 2017 through the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) special intervention fund. Located on the Teaching Hospital Campus of Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, CAMRET was created to address the challenges posed by the lack of specialized molecular biology equipment and the inadequate maintenance of existing ones. By centralizing these resources in one location, the Centre ensures efficient management and administration of its facilities.
CAMRET seeks to advance knowledge in the fields of Biotechnology and Biomedical Sciences by engaging in cutting-edge, cross-disciplinary research. Its areas of focus include drug discovery, immunotherapeutics, vaccine development against infectious diseases and cancer, as well as epigenetics and nutrigenomics research. The Centre houses state-of-the-art molecular biology laboratories, which are directly supervised by skilled research assistants. These facilities support the research needs of the university’s staff, students, and external researchers from across Nigeria.
Additionally, postgraduate programmes from the Departments of Biochemistry and Physiology are domiciled within the Centre, providing a conducive environment for students to conduct their projects. A select group of postgraduate students from biomedicine-related departments of the university receive partial sponsorship to carry out their research at the Centre. Similarly, the Centre runs postgraduate programmes in Cancer Biology and Therapeutics. CAMRET’s administration is overseen by a Director, Deputy Director, and Research Associates appointed by the Vice-Chancellor from relevant university departments.
