The KEMRI|Wellcome Trust Research Programme is a world renowned health research unit of excellence. The programme
was formed in 1989 when the Kenya Medical Research Institute
formed a partnership with the Wellcome Trust and the University of Oxford. The Programme has over the last 26 years
grown from a small group of 12 to a state of the art facility
hosting over 100 research scientists and 700 support staff
working across Kenya, Uganda and the region. We have over
the years excelled in use of novel ideas working with local
community’s to achieve better health for Africa while also developing African scientific leaders.
