The KEMRI Wellcome Trust Research Programme (KWTRP) is based within the KEMRI Centre for Geographic Medical Research (Coast). Our core activities are funded by the Wellcome Trust. We conduct integrated epidemiological, social, laboratory, and clinical research in parallel, with results feeding into local and international health policy. Our research platforms include state-of-the-art laboratories, a demographic surveillance system covering a quarter of a million residents, a partnership with Kilifi County Hospital in health care and hospital surveillance, a clinical trials facility, a vibrant engagement programme, and a dedicated training facility.

The KWTRP leadership includes the Ag. Executive Director Edwine Barasa, the KEMRI Ag. Centre Director Dr. Sophie M. Uyoga , Deputy Director George Warimwe and the Chief Operating Officer Catherine Kenyatta.
