In February 23-29th 2020, a delegation from the University of Nairobi led by Prof. Francis Mulaa, Prof. Rose Nyikal Principal CAVS, Prof. Leonida Kerubo, Prof Ayub Gitau and Dr. Thomas Ochuku Mbuya visited ParisTech to explore opportunities of cooperation between Paris Tech Graduate Engineering Schools and the University of Nairobi, in order to develop joint academic programs, industrial linkages, staff and students mobility, and research collaboration.

Students from the Department of Veterinary Anatomy and Physiology had the opportunity to conduct extensive practical experiments in Toxicity studies on Paragon Insecticidal spray formulation.

Toxicity studies in the animal models are done to determine the dose level recommended for the treatment of disease. Toxicity testing is paramount in the screening of newly developed drugs before it can be used on animals.
