TOMBio is built around multidisciplinary, multi-institutional research. Explore postgraduate research and training, propose a scientifically complementary collaboration, or partner on grant development and research translation.

Research associated with Non-Communicable Diseases and Metabolic Health

A collaborative and distributed research model

TOMBio does not seek to reproduce every specialist facility. It combines locally available infrastructure with national and international platforms, so research questions lead and capability follows.

Host institution

TOMBio operates within the academic, governance and administrative structures of a host institution in Kenya.

  • Academic affiliation and student supervision structures
  • Ethics review and institutional research oversight
  • Grants administration and financial management
  • Access to available laboratory and research infrastructure

Collaborating institutions

Partners contribute the specialist capability a single site cannot hold, in a distributed model.

  • Specialist molecular, analytical and sequencing platforms
  • Clinical and community research sites
  • Methodological, modelling and data-science expertise
  • Co-supervision of postgraduate researchers

International partners

International collaboration is structured around genuine scientific partnership, not service provision.

  • Joint study design and grant development
  • Shared data interpretation and publication
  • Postgraduate training and scientific exchange
  • Research translation and policy engagement
