ABOUT US

ABOUT US

The KEMRI Graduate School was established by the KEMRI Board of Management in 1992 to train postgraduate students in health research through opportunities presented by the well-established medical research facilities and global research expertise available at KEMRI. The goal of the Graduate School is to develop a human resource base equipped with updated research skills and knowledge to provide solutions to the rapidly growing health care delivery challenges facing Kenya and the Africa region. In 2003, The School entered into partnership with Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) to offer Masters and PhD degrees in infectious diseases and tropical medicine. As of December 2021, 519 Masters and 105 PhD students had graduated from the Program. Due to this initial success and experience KEMRI is working with the Commission for University Education (CUE), Kenya to obtain her own university charter as a specialized degree awarding Institution under the Ministry of Health. A combination of academic, research, and training capacity available at KEMRI, makes postgraduate study at the KEMRI Graduate School (KGS) a fertile environment for young scientists aspiring to build a rewarding career in research.
Vision To be a global centre of excellence for post graduate training in health research and innovation.
Mission To build research and innovative capacity in health sector by proving updated and relevant skills that will contribute to the provision of evidence-based quality health care at all levels of promotive, preventive, curative, and palliative health.

Sars-Cov-2 Sequencing, And Bioinformatics Course
With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for genome sequencing gave these platforms, particularly in KEMRI, an unprecedented attention because KEMRI is doing Genomic surveillance in tracking and monitoring existing and novel COVID-19 variants of concern in Kenya on behalf of the Ministry of Health. Genomic surveillance platform remains a key research and surveillance infrastructure in KEMRI in the control and management of other infectious disease including the COVID-19 virus. The Sars-Cov-2 sequencing, and bioinformatics course Started on 28th March 2022 in Kilifi and seeks to increase capacity for genome sequencing and Bioinformatics not only regionally but throughout the African continent. The training initiative has been co-organized by KEMRI, the World Health Organization (WHO), Africa CDC with the objective of increasing the pool of genome sequencing and bioinformatics expertise among laboratory staff, scientists, and program heads in order to upscale scientific research in this very important area in the region. It also aims at training scientists on how to track the different types of COVID-19 variants and how to treat them.
Smile Train Research Methodology Course
KEMRI Graduate School has partnered with Smile Train to train Medical Professionals from East Africa in Research Methodologies. The professionals were drawn from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Ethiopia and they participated in a two-week course training on research methodology which will later be followed by a 10-week mentorship program. The training sought to address a great need for quality research works on cleft, a common facial birth difference in which patients have trouble in breathing, eating, and speaking. Many of the children who grow up with an untreated cleft, experience social stigma, live in shame and isolation, do not attend school and the ripple effect is that they fail to contribute to the economy. Causes of cleft remain unknown but risk factors include environmental factors, a diet of the mother during pregnancy, and genetics. Duration (2 Weeks): 21st February -4th March 2022 Mentorship (one year) Facilitators: Dr. Rose Bosire, Dr. Vincent Were, Dr. Martin Bundi, Mr. James Kariuki, and Mr. Aggrey Mokaya
