Feb 6, 2026 | Quality & Business Excellence

We are pleased to announce the successful completion of a GCLP audit at the KEMRI–Wellcome Trust Research Programme facility in Kilifi, Kenya, conducted on 6-7 November 2025.

The audit was led by Patrick Karugaba and covered a wide range of laboratory areas, including Immunology, STAT Laboratory, CTL, Microbiology, Serology, Virology, CAT 3 Lab, Biobank, Molecular, Insectary, and Safety Laboratories. The breadth of this assessment underscores the complexity and high standards maintained across the facility.

Patrick worked closely with Jesuvei Clayton, Laboratory QA Manager and primary point of contact, alongside all senior leaders heading the respective laboratory units. Their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to quality ensured a smooth and productive audit process.
