Medical research changes lives. Across Aotearoa New Zealand, researchers are advancing new treatments, improving health outcomes, and tackling some of the biggest challenges in cancer and neonatal health.


Our latest edition of Momentum highlights the impact of supporting researchers and investing in medical research funding at every stage of their careers.


Inside this update

  • The remarkable legacy of Professor Alistair Gunn, whose pioneering work transformed care for newborn babies around the world.

  • Researchers tackling some of cancer's biggest challenges, from understanding melanoma spread to developing new organoid technologies for breast and lung cancer research.

  • The Futures Fellowship Fund, which is now within sight of its $6 million goal to support researchers during the critical mid-career stage of their journey. 

  • The leadership transition at AMRF, as we thank Richard Taylor for more than two decades of service and welcome Katie Noble as Board President.
