The University started the New Year with a trip to Kenya. Here a delegation from the Faculty of Health and Life Science (HLS) visited organisations and institutions dedicated to improving community health and disease prevention in East Africa.
Senior leaders from the University visited colleagues at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI). Here they were given a first-hand look at the research being conducted by these key strategic partners and discussed further opportunities for collaboration.
Provost and Deputy Vice-Chancellor at the University of Liverpool, Professor Richard Black who attended the trip said: "From emerging zoonotic and vector-borne diseases, to air pollution in schools and homes, we are working with partners to better understand and tackle issues that affect local communities but have global implications. This latest trip offered us the opportunity to foster these positive relationships that have real world influence and can also give our students unique opportunities for study."
