There is an acute shortage of Biochemists at
present to study the soils, fertilizers, feedstuffs,
insecticides, plant and animal hormones, plant
growth regulators, herbicides, etc., particularly with
special regard to the West African sub-region.
Biochemical research workers are also needed for
the provision of the basic biochemical knowledge
which is lacking with regard to plant and animal
nutrition and disease, the biochemical aspects of
the germination, growth, repening and spoilage of
fruits and crops, and several other such topics
which are important to agriculture and veterinary
science in West Africa.
There is also a desperate need for trained personnel
to conduct studies on tropical products
of economic significance (such as hide and skins,
commercially important natural fibers, timbers,
gums, resins and other forest products), with
particular reference to the biochemical
problems connected with their production,
utilization, storage, biodeterioration, etc. Local
industrial undertakings, particular those based on
raw materials obtained from animal, plant and
microbial sources (such as those industries
concerned with foods, beverages,
cosmetics,pharmaceuticals, ect.) are bound to need
increasing numbers of biochemists in their
product-development..........CLICK LINK TO CONTINUE
