As an international platform for biomedical research, KCCR’s modus operandi based upon the close collaboration between KNUST School of Medical Science (SMS), Ghana, and the Berhnard-Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine (BNITM), Hamburg, Germany. The centre is open to all scientists of other institutions, the only prerequisite is that the respective project includes a Ghanaian partner.
The main objective of the centre is to develop a series of world standard research programmes through the acquisition of research grants. Within this context the development of training facilities and educational programmes for Ghanaian postgraduates and technical staff is a priority.
As a result of their continued effort in pursuit of this objective, KCCR has recently been awarded as an African Network for Diagnosis and Drug Discovery Innovation (ANDi) centre of excellence for applied biomedical research for the next five years. Their objective is to bring both scientific ideas and their respective scientists in a network to conduct research in tropical diseases.
Vision Statement
Making KCCR an independent interdisciplinary research centre of conceptual and technological excellence in biomedicine, agriculture and ecology. By providing a state-of-the-art technological platform and intellectual nucleus based on international scientific collaboration, in the process, attract the most talented and innovative KNUST scientists who carry innovative concepts and technologies back to their departments, faculties and beyond.
Mission Statement
To develop, promote, provide and apply study Designs and Molecular Tools for the advancement of biomedical, agricultural and ecological sciences and sustain a vibrant research environment capable of attracting quality research projects and turning out the next generation of researchers to meet the current and the future health needs of Ghanaians and the international community.
