>Reacting to his elevation to this prestigious and enviable position, 
>Professor Ndow expressed his delight at the appointment and attributed it 
>to efforts of the hard work of the urology department team. He said:”I am 
>absolutely thrilled about being appointed professor of Urology, but I truly 
>believe that my promotion is a reflection of the tremendous work and 
>dedication of everyone in the urological research team. It is also great 
>news for our charity UCAN, which is aiming at raising 2 million pounds by 
>the end of 2008 to set up a urological research center of excellence in 
>Aberdeen.”
>
>The Director of the University’s Health Services Research Unit, Professor 
>Grant, who has worked with professor Ndow over the last few years, said 
>this about him: “His promotion is richly deserved: through wisdom, energy 
>and perseverance, in a short time he has forged an international quality 
>research programme that is making a highly significant contribution to 
>improving the care of people with urological problems.”
>
>The Head of the University’s School of Medicine, Professor Mike Greaves has 
>acknowledged Professor James Ndow as being “exceptionally successful in 
>taking forward urology research in Aberdeen. He is innovative and shows 
>great enthusiasm for collaboration in research. His work is increasingly 
>recognised internationally and includes research which impacts directly on 
>the delivery of care to patients with urological conditions”.

>urological research on the map, but he has shown what Gambians are capable 
>of achieving given the right environment and opportunity. “To attain the 
>position of professor in the medical field at the age of 40 is no mean 
>achievement.
