United States Army Medical Research Directorate-Africa Director visits KEMRI
November 8, 2019
1st Health, Environment & Climate Change Conference
December 6, 2019EARLY CAREER SCIENTISTS FROM PAKISTAN TRAINNED AT THE INSTITUTE
A total of 14 early career researchers from Pakistan completed a practical skills-based laboratory capacity-building workshop course at the KEMRI-based, Center for Microbiology Research (CMR), this Friday, 8th, November 2019.
The rare workshop facilitated through a collaboration between CMR and the Washington State University (WSU) was funded by the National Academics of Science, Engineering & Medicine (NASEM).
Participants were taken through the Nucleic-Acid Amplification method, known as the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR) Surveillance with practical case studies from Kenya and the East Africa region. The programme has been held for two weeks with a group of seven attending each week.
“PCR remains an important method of choice for researchers for quickly generating a sufficient amount of identical genetic material or segment of DNA for study and analysis”, informs, Prof. Sam Kariuki, a member the faculty and also Director in charge of Research and Development in KEMRI.
His view is shared by his colleague, KEMRI Senior Research Scientist, Dr. Robert Onsare, thus, “this training was very timely as it entailed high quality, hands-on training on the various types of PCR available particularly conventional and Real-time PCR.” Class work involved, theory through relevant and topical lectures on Laboratory Biosafety, Quality Assurance and Control, PCR principles and applications and an overview of epidemiology of infectious diseases with practical hands-on laboratory experience.
The participants had a glimpse into the ballooning AMR problem in the region with the challenge on the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and how researchers have responded to it. “I am happy that participants had the opportunity to understand the AMR trends, as young researchers, this should challenge them explore innovative solutions of addressing this global matter urgently,” reflects, Dr. Evans Amukoye who officiated in the opening ceremony on behalf of Director General, Prof. Yeri Kombe. Dr. Amukoye is the Ag. Director in charge of Scientific Programmes, Partnerships and Grants Management at the Institute.
As the curtains came down during the official closing ceremony preceded by Prof. Kariuki, all the participants concurred that the two-week period at the center was a valuable experience that will impact their future professional lives.

Dear Sir/Madam,
RE: LABORATORY ANALYST
In response to your recent ad for a Lab analyst I am submitting my resume for your review and consideration. I bring over five years of experience, a respect for the protocols of the lab and the ability to work independently.
I have frequently carried out blood draws and performed blood tests on several patients. During my employment period, I became familiar with the location of veins, the usage of medical technology and the analysis of blood test results.
I am thrilled to apply for the position of Lab analyst. I’m an experienced Lab technologist with the skills and educational background needed to fulfill this role. I would be more than excited for an opportunity to work at your medical facility..
In my current I work closely with physicians efficiently and accurately conducting requested tests after properly logging the specimen number ,patient name and what tests are going to be run. In some cases I’ve been asked to conduct direct specimen examinations like counting and recording cell counts. My sense of organization and detail oriented approach to work makes me an ideal candidate for this work.
In this role, I manage medical lab operations that include:
• Collecting, processing and testing specimens per appropriate techniques and clinical protocols.
• Documenting lab data, test results, analysis and other information into LIS and EMR systems.
• Operating lab equipment including centrifuges, dry bath incubators ,Elisa ,chemistry machines and blood bank refrigerators.
• Preparing culture medias ,reagents and perfoming cultures for bacteria identification .
I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience to discuss this opportunity further. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Castrol Oluoch.
