The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) and the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) are collaborating to develop a truly equitable model of North–South scientific partnership. This collaboration is built on mutual, long-term benefits and is guided by a shared vision to establish a sustainable, African-led research ecosystem. Key pillars of this partnership include:

• Mentorship and capacity building to strengthen Kenyan scientific leadership.
• Integration of KEMRI’s robust research infrastructure with LSTM’s extensive global networks to enhance the scale and impact of research.
• Strategic co-appointments to unlock new funding opportunities and support career development for scientists from both institutions.
