Our People
The Maurice Wilkins Centre draws together more than 240 investigators from around the country, linking researchers from six universities, three Crown Research Institutes, one private research institutes, and nine District Health Boards.
These investigators represent most of New Zealand's expertise in discovering new drugs, vaccines and diagnostic tools that proceed to clinical trials. In addition to its associate investigators (listed here) the Centre has twenty principal investigators and more than 250 early to mid-career affiliates.
