The establishment of the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Regional Research Centre (ICGEB RRC) at Egerton University is making notable progress, following the University Council's approval to integrate one wing of the stalled Agronomy Building into the project.

The contractor on-site has ramped up efforts to ensure timely completion of the state-of-the-art research facility, which will serve as a hub for genetic engineering and biotechnology research and innovation in sub-Saharan Africa. The move to utilize the existing structure aligns with Egerton University’s strategic approach to optimizing resources while advancing academic and research excellence.
