Kenya has been selected by the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) Board of Governors to host its first Regional Research Centre (RRC) in Africa, to complement the one in China.

Scientific research is essential for the advancement of science and humanity at large. It is not only an engine for the generation of new knowledge but also offers a lens through which current practices can be examined. Through constant inquisitions and scientific research, what is currently good and acceptable can be made better.

It is now official. Egerton University has won the bid to host the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) Regional Research Centre (RRC), and it is the first of such a centre in sub-Saharan Africa.

Egerton University and Bowie State University, USA, launched the 2022  Research and Extension Experience for Undergraduates at Main Campus in Njoro on 8th June 2022.
