Watch CREATES turn clinical research into therapies that reach people.
Discover how CREATES and its consortium deliver rigorous clinical research across Kenya, from study design and site operations to bioequivalence evaluation, regulatory readiness, and community-centred engagement that strengthens evidence for therapeutic innovation.
Connected research intelligence for therapeutic sciences
CREATES brings together research operations, clinical partnerships, implementation insight, and community trust to support high-quality health research in Kenya and the region. The Centre works across connected domains where scientific quality, operational excellence, and public value must move together.
Clinical development
Protocol-ready teams, study coordination, and site operations for clinical trials that need scientific discipline and local fluency.
Therapeutic sciences
Research that evaluates medicines, interventions, and therapeutic pathways with attention to quality, safety, and patient relevance.
Evidence translation
Turning study findings, implementation data, and real-world insight into decisions that can strengthen care and health systems.
Research capacity
Training investigators, clinicians, coordinators, and institutional teams to run rigorous, ethical, and sustainable research.
Community trust
Designing participant and community engagement around respect, clarity, retention, and research questions that matter locally.
Our sites and community network
Research that can meet people where care happens
CREATES is strongest when central coordination and local presence reinforce each other. The spread-out site network makes research more accessible, more accountable, and easier to sustain beyond a single study.
