KAVI-Institute of Clinical Research (KAVI-ICR) proudly congratulates Joel Musando and Naomi Mwakishi for representing the institute at the Keystone Symposium on Viral Pathogenesis and Immunity in Hannover, Germany, after receiving the prestigious Global Health Travel Award.

The KAVI-Institute of Clinical Research (KAVI-ICR) proudly celebrates a landmark achievement by its Director, Prof. Marianne Wanjiru Mureithi, following her promotion to the rank of Professor by the University of Nairobi.

This promotion marks a historic milestone as Prof. Mureithi becomes the first woman in the history of the Department of Medical Microbiology & Immunology to attain the rank of Professor.

Every year, hundreds of women and men walk into Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) with breast, ovarian, or prostate cancer. Some of them carry a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, a genetic marker that could open the door to life-extending treatment but many may never know. The test that would tell them is cost-prohibitive, and it is not routinely offered in public hospitals in Kenya.
