The School of Biological Sciences, University of Nairobi was formed in February 2006 with the merging of the former departments of Botany and Zoology in line with the university rationalization. The School is committed to embracing good practice changes concomitant with the Millennium Development Goals especially in the areas of training, research, consultancies and community outreach programmes in biological sciences. In tandem with this, the School has an elaborate five years Strategic Plan which guides the running of the School. The use of performance appraisal practice for staff is streamlined and we engage in practical team building. These and other evolving changes have made the School a competitive learning and innovative research institution with a bias in biotechnology development in Kenya and we are working towards evolving the School into a competitive research and learning institution in the Africa region and the world.
