We have been pioneering medical research in New Zealand for over 55 years, with a track record of translating discoveries made in the laboratory to potentially life-saving clinical trials. From our first cancer vaccine trial in 1998, to running New Zealand’s first CAR T-cell cancer therapy clinical trial in 2019, our advancements in biomedical research have included asthma and allergy, vaccine technology and gene transfer discovery.

How you can help

Our research would not be possible without the backing and long-term vision of supporters like the late Len and Ann Malaghan, who saw the potential and value of world-class independent medical research in New Zealand.

All gifts, whatever the size, mean a great deal to us and leave a lasting impact on advancing medical research in New Zealand.

Caring for the future
