In 1995, Elizabeth Bukusi, MD, PhD, established KEMRI's Research Care and Treatment Program (RCTP) in collaboration with UCSF's Craig Cohen, MD. The program aims to enhance local capacity to conduct socio-behavioral and biomedical research and to provide HIV care through training and infrastructure development. RCTP has supported research into health issues including reproductive health and sexually transmitted infections, through socio-behavioral, clinical, implementation science, and bioethics approaches. From 2004-2020, Bukusi was co-PI of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/PEPFAR-funded Family AIDS Care and Education Services program based in Kenya. She recently co-led, with UCSF's LaMisha Hill, PhD, a conference aimed at making UCSF's global health partnerships more equitable (article above). |
