From the Desk of the Vice Chancellor

Greetings!

As the Vice Chancellor of this premier university, I am extremely pleased to share this space to converse with all of you. The University of Madras is a post- sesquicentennial institution which has forged a glorious path for itself and has been the site for significant scientific discoveries as well as the beacon for national and regional societal transformation. It has successfully managed to hold aloft its tradition even while keeping up with the emerging trends. One reason for this is the way in which the university has kept alive its interactions with all the stakeholders.

The COVID 19 pandemic has introduced a ‘new normal’ and its impact is felt in the workings of the university as well. The students have been attending the lectures online. While online learning has the advantage of being anytime and anywhere, it has taken away the peer group interaction and peer learning which are integral aspects of the university experience. We look forward to welcoming you to the campus very soon. Meanwhile, our faculty and administration will continue to bring the best to the virtual classrooms. As students, you need to view the restrictions posed by the pandemic as a temporary deterrent. Your focus should be to gain the competencies to conduct application oriented research in order to evolve as useful citizens of our society.

Our university boasts of faculty with a high degree of knowledge and commitment to offer the best in teaching and research. Given the context of the pandemic, we need to redefine our teaching-learning processes to offer the best pedagogic experience to our students. Similarly, the post-pandemic era demands that we hone the employment potential and entrepreneurial capacity of our learners. This necessitates that we focus on sponsored research in cutting edge areas.

Our administrative staff have been the backbone of the university. While we move towards a transparent and complete e-governance model, we need more support from you. When the teaching-learning process at our university – from admission to certification -- is moving into the digital era, your skills and competencies need to keep pace.

At our university, we are gearing up for the final round of NAAC re-accreditation. This has offered us an opportunity to assess our Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges. Further, it has made us more determined to reiterate our quality benchmarks in teaching, research and extension activities. We are aware of this responsibility and fully prepared for it because, our university has always encouraged individual thinking within the established frameworks. This is echoed in the words of Tim Burners Lee, who initiated the World Wide Web: “We are forming cells within a global brain and we are excited that we might start to think collectively. What becomes of us still hangs crucially on how we think individually.” Let us unite to make the educational experience at the University of Madras a synergy of the best minds and best thoughts.

About the Department

The Department of Anatomy started functioning from 1st July 1977. Dr. A. Krishnamurti was the founder professor and head of the department. The seed for the formation of the department was sown by Dr. Lakshmi Chataur the then Vice Chancellor in the year 1976. In the UGC 5th Plan period, the following posts were filled-up which were sanctioned by UGC.

  • Professor HOD -Dr. A. Krishnamurti (Designated in October 1976 and Joined in July 1977)
  • Reader: Dr. K.M.Marimuthu (Joined on 15th November 1976)
  • Assistant Professor : Mr. R.Muthusamy (Joined on 17th November 1976)
  • Assistant Professor : Ms. K. Kamakshi ( Joined on 1st July 1977)

Objective

 

 

Mission

Faculties and staff are committed to sustain and further promote the department as a premier training center for teaching Anatomy and Neuroscience thereby creating better teachers and researchers of tomorrow. The Department of Anatomy will be intensifying research in the following 3 areas

  • I. Credentials of adult tissue derived stem cells for spinal cord injury repair research. Globally much expected embryonic stem cell applications may turn out to be futile due to social reasons like ethical and legal complications involved in their usage and scientific findings like tumerogenic nature of these cells. As an alternative, scientists are focusing on alternate sources of stem cells. Thus adult tissue derived stem cells are considered as potential candidates for therapeutic intervention; however this requires proper scientific validation. Dr.V. Sankar of the department is aiming to explore the potential of these cells in treating spinal cord injuries; one of the devastating conditions crippling thousands of people all over the world every year.  
  • II. Herbal derivatives and their role in treating male sexual disorders Reproductive system disorders is a growing health problem due to altered life style compounded by stress and pollution of present day conditions. It has been estimated that one out of six couples is affected with fertility-sterility related problems. The reproductive system related disorders have tremendous impact on the quality of life and therefore research conducted in this arena shall be a society reaching research. Dr. S.Prakash, Assistant Professor is committed to find ways of rectifying diabetes induced problems in male sexual life using novel approaches which includes remedies from our traditional medical systems like siddha.  
  • III. Herbal derivatives and their role in treating cerebral stroke Cerebral stroke is a condition prevalent worldwide and known for the difficulty in its treatment. One of the major obstacles in stroke research is producing a valid and reproducible animal model to test the hypotheses and screen potential therapies. Dr.R.Ramesh Kumar, Assistant Professor has successfully standardized the most difficult animal model of stroke viz. middle cerebral artery occlusion model and started screening for potential methods of treatment. He has identified certain herbal formulations that could be useful. It is his vision to develop a successful treatment regime for cerebral stroke which shall be a boon for our country where incidences of stroke victims are on rise every year.
Academic Activities Department of Anatomy is offering the following two postgraduate programs under faculty of medicine.

1. M.Sc. Anatomy - Duration 3 years 2. M.S. Neuroscience - Duration 2 years - Offered under Self-Supportive Mode For details of eligibility to these courses, please refer the University of Madras's admission notification published every year before the commencement of every academic year. Department of Anatomy is also involved in short-term training in human anatomy to students of other institutions such as Spastics Society of Tamilnadu. Apart from postgraduate programs, Ph.D. program is also offered to students of Anatomy and Neuroscience under faculty of medicine as well as to students of faculty of science under interdisciplinary mode. Presently, Dr.V. Sankar and Dr.S. Prakash, Assistant Professors of the department are the recognized research supervisors. Their research interests include cell transplantations for spinal cord injury, dissection of molecular pathways of neuronal death, herbal products in the treatment of erectile dysfunction due to diabetes etc.

Research Facilities Available

1. Surgical theatre to perform experimental animal surgeries 2. Cell culture laboratory 3. Microscopy system for light and fluorescent photomicrography 4.
