The Medical Research Institute of New Zealand’s work is guided by a simple philosophy: it must challenge dogma, increase knowledge and have the potential to improve clinical practice and outcomes, both in Aotearoa New Zealand and internationally.
Our research teams investigate important public health problems, delivering high-quality evidence to improve the management of disease and patient care.
An internationally recognised academic institution and registered charitable trust, MRINZ advances clinical practice and provides a base for specialist training in medical research.
