SUMMARY

Prof. Muleke has the Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine, (University of Nairobi -1989), and M.Sc. Tropical Veterinary Medicine, (Edinburgh University, 1995), and Ph.D. Molecular Parasitology and Immunology, (Nanjing Agricultural University, 2006). In addition, he has vast post doctoral research experience focusing on  functional validation for candidate parasite vaccine antigens and  food safety research. 

He is a Full Professor of Veterinary Parasitology and Immunology at Egerton University.  He is the pioneer Founding Dean for the second accredited veterinary school in Kenya. He has over 25 years of training and/mentoring experience for the animal health professionals in Kenya including curriculum development for the certificate/diploma/veterinary medicine programs in Africa. He has over 20 years of practical experience in the delivery of professional veterinary services, primarily in Kenya, 15 years of which were devoted to research in diseases of veterinary public health and food safety importance in Africa.

Prof. Muleke has professional expertise in Food Safety Research, Molecular Parasitology and Immunology, novel gene discovery and vaccines development, Quality Assurance in Veterinary Education, Expertise in Guiding Reforms at Animal Health Technical Training Institutions in Kenya - (Egerton University, Baraton College (TVET), Bukura Agricultural College (TVET), Dairy Training Institution (TVET), Masai Mara University.  

He is the Principal Investigator/Coordinator of the Food Safety Laboratory (SAF- LAB) Project, A Key Food Safety Discipline Reference Laboratory located at Egerton University, funded by the State Department for University Education and Research, under the National Research Funds (NRF) Infrastructure Grant Initiative. Prof. Muleke is the Principal Investigator of the Multidisciplinary Food Safety Risks Project and the Kenya Climate Smart Agriculture Project (KCSAP) for validating climate smart disease control technologies for enhanced adaptation and productivity of indigenous chicken in Kenya.

Prof. Muleke has successfully supervised and mentored 5-PhD and 8-MSc students to completion undertaking research projects in a wide range of animal health and food safety topics. He has published over 50 scholarly publications in peer reviewed journal papers (www.egerton.ac.ke). Together with others, Prof. Muleke published the university reference book “The Veterinary Parasitology and Parasitic Diseases”, First Edition-2018, ISBN 978-9966-114-77-8.
