U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

Our graduate biology program is supported by 10 faculty members carrying out state-of-the art research in several areas including cancer research, cancer therapeutics, cell signaling, microbiology, microbial genomics, human genetics, yeast genetics and neurobiology, among others. More importantly, the diversity of research areas covered in our program is balanced by the presence of two focus areas in which we have a critical mass of researchers, namely: cell and cancer biology and microbiology and genomics.

Our program has 2 areas of research specialization, one in cell biology and cancer research and the other in microbiology and genomics, which represent the two areas in which we have a critical mass of researchers. The research produced by these research areas is published in highly ranked international journals in the field and some of has practical relevance in that it addresses issues of antibiotic resistance in bacteria as well as mechanisms of tumor metastasis and targeted cancer therapeutics. Findings in all these areas could lead to better therapeutics in the future.

The research at AKSOB varies between quantitative and qualitative approach. Some scholars use primary data in their research like case studies, interviews and questionnaires. Another group of scholars uses secondary data in their research. This type of research relies heavily on statistical models. Most of the research is conducted on developing countries as well as studies related to the region. At AKSOB, faculty are highly encouraged to publish their research work at reputable high quality journals per discipline of every faculty.
