Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Kenyan lab technician Albina Makio, works with disease sample from behind a bio-safety hood at the Kenya Medical Research Institute – USAMRU-K’s close partner on medical research in Kenya. One of five U.S. military research overseas labs, USAMRU-K was first established in 1969 at Kenya’s invitation to study trypanosomiasis, a parasitic disease transmitted by the tsetse fly. In 1973, the unit was permanently set up in Nairobi, working through an agreement with the Kenya Medical Research Institute. USAMRU-K has 10 U.S. Army Soldiers, two Army civilians and over 400 Kenyan contractors – a mix of doctors, nurses, scientists and laboratory technicians who work together to research, test and prevent disease. They collaborate with Kenyan health officials, U.S. civilian and military organizations, private companies and universities, plus nongovernmental organizations and non-profit foundations. |
