192 MEDICAL SCIENCES Professsor of Reproductive Medicine Dean Faculty of Medical Sciences Tel 868 645 2640 ext.5025 E-mail samuel.ramsewaksta.uwi.edu PROF. SAMUEL RAMSEWAK My promotion to the rank of Professor in 2001 was the first in the speciality of Reproductive Medicine in The UWI. At that time my bibliography revealed one book seven chapters in books 50 publications in refereed journals as well as numerous conference presentations. Much of the work in my areas of expertise was in the fields of a Chlamydia infection in the female and b Assisted Reproduc- tive Technologies. The work on Chlamydia infection led to the award of the MD By Research in 1999 and this was the first such degree to be awarded by The UWI. TitleChlamydia trachomatis and Abnormal Reproductive Function in the Female ThemeThis was a study of the organism C.trachomatis which was becoming increasingly recognised to be the commonest sexually transmitted disease worldwide even surpassing gonorrhoea syphilis and HIV. Long term consequences include ectopic pregnancy and possibly miscarriage. Since the organism is difficult to identify this work sought to locate Chlamydial DNA within freshly acquired infected tissues such as the Fallopian tubes the ovaries and the uterine lining endometrium. Together with research colleagues at the University of SheffieldUK we accumulated the largest database in the research community worldwidefor Chlamydial DNA in these tissues.
