Kumasi Centre for Collaborative Research in Tropical Medicine (KCCR) (KCCR)

At the Kumasi Centre for Collaborative Research in Tropical Medicine (KCCR), you will be part of a leading biomedical research institution with a distinguished track record dating back to 1997. As a joint venture between Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Ghana's Ministry of Health, and the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine (BNITM) in Germany, KCCR offers a uniquely collaborative, internationally connected research environment.

You will contribute to high-impact infectious disease research spanning malaria, viral and bacterial infections, sepsis, and neglected tropical diseases — work that integrates rigorous laboratory analytics with real-world clinical and field studies. Beyond research, KCCR is deeply committed to training and mentorship, having supported numerous postgraduate students in advancing their careers.

Critically, KCCR has proven itself as a key partner in Ghana's COVID-19 response and vaccine research initiatives — a testament to its capacity to deliver science that directly protects and improves public health. By joining KCCR, you will work where cutting-edge research meets tangible, national-scale impact.
