PRIME-K is delighted to inform you that Mary Muiruri won the AstraZeneca Research Grant award.
Mary Muiruri is a recipient of tremendous
support from MEPI-Kenya in many areas of her research and this award
highlights the direct impact of the capacity building by the MEPI grant.
We are proud to share our success with you - the MEPI family.This is what Mary had to say
“I kindly wish to express my deep
gratitude and appreciation for the immense support that MEPI-Kenya has
given me for the past two years since December 2012 when I applied for
the PRIME-K seed grant. I have benefited a great deal through this
project. First it was the seed grant which funded part of my PhD
research, then the sponsorship to attend the EAPHEA conference in
Kampala this year June, and two trainings in between. It's also through
PRIME-K that I got to know Dr. Titus Kahiga* who has become my mentor in
research.”
“I also would like to say thank you
for the sponsorship to attend the SARETI modules in South Africa from
25th Aug - 6th Sept this year. I'm really grateful. I learnt a lot on
ethical issues in HIV clinical trials and in research generally. It was
both an opportunity for learning and exposure. Out of it I've now even
began to get involved in training here at Kenyatta University.”
“It's my prayer that God richly bless
you and the MEPI family, to which I now feel I belong. I look forward to
participating more and more in MEPI's future activities. Thank you. ”
Mary Muiruri.
