Joseph Maina Mungai
Joseph Maina Mungai (born in Kenya, 1932; died August 2003) was the first African to become Dean of the School of Medicine at the University of Nairobi.〔John Lonsdale, Trinity College, Cambridge (UK). "''The Henry Martyn Lectures 2005: Religion and Politics in Kenya.''"〕 Besides a medical journal editor position from which he resigned in 1974,〔E. Afr J Med Research; Vol. 2–3; p. 71: "''JM Mungai last year found it necessary to resign his post on the editorial board...''" East African Medical Research Council (1975).〕 and a long-term stint as a newspaper correspondent, he was also Head and faculty member of the Department of Anatomy, a writer, and to an extent limited by other career demands, engaged in medical practice. Additionally, from the late 1960s until his retirement, he remained active in the Kenyan civil service.
Having been one of the earliest Africans to engage in scientific research work, activity begun with neurologic research while studying for his doctorate in London, UK, and continued along with production of scientific research papers well into the 1980s, he has also been described as a pioneer medical researcher in East Africa.〔Afr J Hlth Sciences; Vol. 13, No. 1-2; Jan–June 2006; pp. 1–6: "''The changing conceptions and focus of health research in East Africa''", Simon K. Langat & John O. Onyatta, Department of Research Development, Ministry of Science & Technology (Kenya).〕 That his interest in scientific research extended beyond laboratory walls has been exhibited. An example is when he was acknowledged for having suggested to Derek J. Chadwick of CIBA Foundation that the foundation's Symposium on the Molecular Biology and Pathology of Elastic Tissues be held in Nairobi. Mungai, with colleagues J. K. Kimani and A. H. Walji had, about seven years earlier completed a research paper on subject matter which tied in with the symposium's main themes: elastin fibre content in a primate species.〔Anat Record, 1987 Oct; 219 (2), pg. 152-6: "''Segmental variations in the elastic fiber content of the lateral costotransverse ligaments in the vervet monkey'' (''Cercopithecus pygerythrus aethiops'')", by J. K. Kimani, A. H. Walji and J. M. Mungai.〕
His idea for Nairobi as a venue was backed by Bob Mecham of Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri, and by Leslie Robert of France. Further co-ordination of the event was provided by Davy Koech and Ms. Shah of KEMRI (Kenya Medical Research Institute); and Mungai's colleague James K. Kimani of the University of Nairobi's Department of Anatomy who was, until his death on 14 September 2006, a researcher in anatomy, neurology, pathology, histology, elastins and bioelasticity of biological tissues and structures (1977–1997); lecturer and professor,〔Afr J Neur Sci, Vol. 25, No. 2; pg. 78–82: "''Obituary: James K. Kimani''"〕 as well as Secretary-General of SONA (Society of Neuroscientists in Africa), an organisation associated with PAAN (Pan African Association of Neurological Sciences).〔(Who's Who at SONA )〕〔(Afr J Neur Sci: 'Online Obituary: James K. Kimani (d. 9/14/2006)' )〕〔(Pan African Association of Neurological Sciences )〕 The event, CIBA's 192nd symposium, was held 1–3 November 1994, at the Windsor Golf and Country Club in Nairobi.〔''"The Molecular Biology and Pathology of Elastic Tissues"'', Derek Chadwick & Jamie Goode, editors; CIBA Foundation Symposium Series. Publishers: John Wiley & Sons Ltd. (1995)〕
== Education ==
Having completed high school at Alliance Boys' High School (now Alliance High School) in Kikuyu, Kenya, Mungai attended medical school at Makerere University, and qualified for licensing as a medical surgeon in 1961. By 1962, while still at Makerere, he had registered on the Kenya Medical Practitioner and Dental Board.〔The Kenya Gazette Vol. LXIV, No. 39; 13 September 1962.〕 He enrolled and completed studies which were offered as the East African medical studies program by the University College of London (UK), where he received his medical and surgical degrees (MB., Ch.B.) in 1964.〔British Med J, 2 May 1964; pg. 1196: ''News and Notes, Universities and Colleges''.〕 He completed his doctorate (PhD) studies while in London.
