The pioneer Head of the Department (HOD)was Professor Abdulaziz Aliyu Umar Dikko(of blessed memory), who served till 2012. /2013 session. From 2012/2013 all through to 2015, Then Dr Ciroma, Fatima Lami took over affairs of the department as acting HOD, followed by acting from 2013 to 2015.

In any case, the department is enriched with qualified academic and laboratory staff that can handle both Bachelor’s and Postgraduate training. Furthermore, In addition, the Department of Human Physiology tutors students from pharmacy, physiotherapy, nursing, medical laboratory sciences and radiology, in addition to the MBBS students.
Preparations have been ongoing and it is therefore hoped that the department will soon begin to train core Bachelor of Science Physiology undergraduates as well as graduate students.be approved to run the applied degree programmes.
