Structure of the Research Centres 
Each of the 11 centres consists of an administration and a technical unit.  The 
technical unit includes researchers who have a doctors’ or masters’ degree at least.  
Many senior researchers have a Ph.D degree in sciences rather than being medical 
doctors.  The technologists are mainly undergraduates of science courses from 
universities, and personnel who have medical licenses such as assistant doctors and 
nurses are also assigned to this position.  Many of the technologists are employed 
from the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC).    KEMRI has a close relationship 
with KMTC in which researchers from KEMRI give lectures at KMTC, and the 
students of KMTC also take practice courses at KEMRI (see Figure 5.2).
