FOREWORD
The College of Natural Sciences (CONAS) has a total of 12 Professors and 11 Associate
Professors, out of a total of 139 teaching staff. Of the 12 Professors, 9 are retired and
on contract, as are 5 of the 11 Associate Professors. Today, CoNAS is dedicating time to
celebrate and pay tribute to the committed service rendered to us by these 14 galant
scientists, who have served in various capacities across various fields of science over the
years.
It is a great joy to render service, more so, effective service. It is of even greater joy to
recognise that the service rendered has been dedicated in nature. In this book, we
summarize the academic lives of these Professors who have selflessly lived most of their
distinguished scientific careers right here with us at CoNAS, serving Makerere University.
To CoNAS, their service has been absolutely exemplary, full of relentless guidance, and as
a result, to the younger generation of academics, a wonderful learning experience.
Their long and unremitting service ranges from teaching, to supervision of students,
writing of programmes, heading departments, heading faculties, chairing committees,
directing departments, appointment to top management, representation at different
levels (nationally and internationally), doing scientific research and publishing, in
addition to, fostering local and international collaborations.
The College cherishes every single moment they have spent on mentorship. Their
dedicated supervision has left behind a total of 87 PhDs and 195 MScs in various scientific
fields, wrote by over 400 publications in international journals and over 40 research
grants. Over 40 of the total number of students supervised are now staff members in
various departments at CoNAS, and at varioius levels in other university units.
At CoNAS we are therefore extremely proud to have been associated with these,
academic mentors. Their dedicated efforts as well as the research grants they won have
iii
laid a firm foundation for the future, and greatly aided the internationalization aspect of
the University.
We appreciate the contributions from Office of the Vice Chancellor, the University Printery,
CoNAS Finance Committee and the Organising Committee that have made this occasion
a great success. We will forever cherish the firm foundation they established, while they
each diligently played their respective roles, as we continue to build for the future.

Introduction
On 4th August 1922, Makerere University; then a humble Technical College, was
inaugurated and the same day this year will mark the commencement of a year-long
celebration of 90 years of her existence. Established on the guiding motto, ‘WE BUILD
FOR THE FUTURE’, it was clear to the founders that no Institution can survive without the
requisite leadership and quality human resources. From her humble beginnings to the
current oldest and largest public University in the region, it is clear that an institution the
size of Makerere University would not have achieved this status had it not been for a team
of hardworking and dedicated academic staff; the bedrock of existence and everpresent
source of innovation.
At the College of Natural Sciences (CoNAS), we have a select club of fourteen senior
professors who have through decades of dedicated service scaled the echelons of
academic excellence to the highest rank; professorship. These dignified lady and
gentlemen have committed most of their professional life to serving Makerere University
and their motherland Uganda. These Professors have on average served for a period
of over 30 years. As such, these humble public servants have attained the statutory
retirement age but owing to a shortage of staff, have continued to serve under contract.
They continue to deligently teach, carry out research, mentor younger staff members,
attract research partnerships and also take part in outreach activities among other
activities.
As the College of Natural Sciences, we feel that it is not only just but also of great
importance that we recognize their dedicated service to this institution and our nation by
documenting their service both under the newly-established College of Natural Sciences
and formerly under the Faculty of Science. Some famous personalities have said thus in
relation to recognizing contributions of others.
In the arena of human life, the honors and rewards fall to those who show their good
qualities in action. ~Aristotle
Recognition is the greatest motivator. ~Gerard C. Eakedale

Dr. Kironde Fred, PhD is an Associate Professor of Biochemistry in the College of Natural
Sciences at Makerere University. He also undertakes research and teaches at the College of
Health Sciences in the same University. He joined Makerere University in 1999 as a Senior
Lecturer rising to become an Associate Professor in 2006. Dr. Kironde holds a PhD from
Syracuse University in New York, USA. He has also attended various postgraduate short
training in Uganda and abroad. At Makerere, Dr. Kironde has participated in the training
of undergraduate and several postgraduate (MSc. & PhD) students. During his work at
Makerere, he has been involved in setting up a dynamic research group (CRID Group)
and active scientific investigations in P. falciparum malaria, Burkit’s lymphoma (Epstein
Barr Virus, EBV), schistosomiasis, Toxoplasmosis, and bacter infections. In these efforts,
Dr Kironde has established strong research collaborations with local and international
scientists. Dr. Kironde’s current main collaborative research is funded by Sida/SAREC,
European Union, AMANET and others. Dr. Kironde is head of the Malaria subprogram
of the Sida/SAREC-Makerere collaborative project and is In-Charge of Makerere’s
Biomedical Crosscutting Laboratory which he helped to set up and which is located at
Makerere Faculty of Medicine, Mulago. Before joining Makerere University, Dr. Kironde
worked for United Nations Development Organization (UNIDO) at the International
Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB), New Delhi, India where
he helped to found the Malaria Group unit. At ICGEB, New Delhi, Dr. Kironde’s group
initiated immunological investigations on P. falciparum and P. yoelii malarias and trained
several PhD and MD students. Dr. Kironde initiated and participated in experiments for
developing the infection and treatment immunization strategy against mouse P. yoelii
malaria. Dr. Kironde has a good grasp of cell culture, having trained and set up functional
P. falciparum in vitro cultures and having obtained solid experience on propagation of
different viruses in mammalian (kidney, testis, thyroid) monolayer cell culture systems. Dr.
Kironde has a good administrative experience having worked as Group Leader for nearly
10 years at ICGEB, New Delhi (1988-1997) and as Head, Department of Biochemistry
(2000-2004) and research Group Leader at Makerere University (2000-todate). Dr.
Kironde has co-published at least 60 papers and over 90 abstracts in peer-reviewed
journals, spanning the scientific fields of parasitology, immunology, molecular biology
and microbial drug resistance.
