KEMRI Wellcome Trust Research Programme
The KEMRI Wellcome Trust Research Programme (KWTRP) is a partnership between the Kenya Medical Research Institute, Oxford University and Wellcome units in Kenya and Uganda with an international network of collaborating sites. Whilst the programme began largely focusing on malaria, over the years research activities have grown to focus on addressing key health priorities including respiratory diseases, malnutrition and HIV/AIDS. Our scientific themes draw together researchers from different disciplines to work on high priority areas and enhance the rapid dissemination and uptake of findings into policy and practice. Work within and between themes is highly inter-disciplinary, and interaction between themes is common. We promote a broad and inclusive approach to scientific themes, providing flexible capacity to respond to emerging health challenges.
