Congratulations to Prof. Abdirahman Abdi, Senior Research Scientist, KEMRI-Wellcome Trust, on being awarded an Associate Professorship at University of Oxford in recognition of his outstanding research achievements and contribution to teaching and the general work of the Nuffield Department of Medicine !


It was a real privilege to host Neil Wigan , the British High Commissioner to Kenya, at KEMRI-Wellcome today. His strong support for our work and the UK’s continued commitment to research partnerships in Kenya is deeply appreciated.

Yesterday I visited KEMRI-Wellcome Trust which has done ground breaking medical research in Kilifi since 1989. I met world class Kenyan scientists making life saving discoveries. A perfect example of 🇬🇧 🇰🇪 collaboration.
