  • Maurice Wilkins Centre
    MAURICE WILKINS CENTRE New Zealand’s Centre of Research Excellence targeting human disease Annual Report 2013 Maurice Wilkins Centre The Maurice Wilkins Centre is New Zealand’s Centre of Research Excellence targeting major human diseases. It focuses on cancer, diabetes and infectious disease. New Zealand has an outstanding reputation for biomedical research. The Centre aims to harness this expertise to develop drugs and vaccines, tools for early diagnosis and prevention, and new models of disease. In addition to translational research that directly targets human disease, the Maurice Wilkins Centre encourages innovative fundamental science that has the potential for high impact on human health. The Maurice Wilkins Centre is a multidisciplinary network that brings together leading biologists, chemists and computer scientists. At the end of 2013 it comprised 148 investigators throughout the country, and over 170 early-career affiliates, linking researchers from six universities, three Crown Research Institutes and two private research institutes. These investigators represent most of New Zealand’s expertise in discovering new drugs, vaccines and diagnostic tools that proceed to clinical trials. As the national hub for molecular biodiscovery the Centre provides a point of contact for a broad range of national scientific expertise. It cultivates collaborations with international researchers and research institutions and also engages with industry and the medical profession.

During the year I have been heartened to be a part of discussions on how local people are coming together to support areas of need, and to have seen young people learning, using their skills, and growing in confidence, building businesses in a range of areas and demonstrating the range of jobs that will be part of our future. The drivers for central government are very different to those for local government. These institutions will come under increasing strain from the pace of change, our limited financial and natural resources, and increasing global unrest and nationalism. We believe that the next few years should be about creating and supporting trust between individuals, communities, and organisations.

  • 2010 Academy Annual Report
    This document has been created from historical website content. 2010 Academy Annual Report The 2010 Academy Annual Report details the accomplishments of the Academy of the Royal Society of New Zealand throughout the year. Chair’s foreword In January 2010 the final act of “embracing the Humanities” within the Royal Society took place with the signing of an MOU between Te Whainga Aronui The Council for the Humanities and Te Apārangi the Royal Society of New Zealand. President Dr Garth Carnaby described this as landmark decision for both organisations. “For the first time there will be an organisation in New Zealand that promotes excellence in research and scholarship across all the disciplines and areas of knowledge.” The CV’s of the existing fellows of the Council for the Humanities were reviewed by the Academy Executive and these people were admitted to the Fellowship by a special resolution at the Fellow’s AGM. The Academy has continued to provide “information pieces” and forward- looking contributions on present and emerging debates that were introduced in 2009. In 2010, 2 information statements were prepared. Sea Level Rise: Emerging Issues recounted the significant changes in the scientific understanding of this issue since the 2007 Assessment Report by the IPCC. The Darfield Earthquake: The Value of Long-term Research was produced to document the research conducted in New Zealand over many years on how to construct and strengthen buildings to improve performance during large earthquakes. The application of this science and engineering undoubtedly played a big role in limiting the damage and injury caused by the 2010 Christchurch earthquake.

  • Solutions to Serious Diseases Maurice Wilkins Centre
    Issue 3 | December 2009 Solutions to Serious Diseases Maurice Wilkins Centre The Maurice Wilkins Centre brings together leading biologists, chemists, and computer scientists to target serious disease. The Wilkins Centre includes New Zealand researchers with world-class reputations for inventing new drugs targeting cancer, diabetes, and infectious disease, several of which are in clinical trials. The Wilkins Centre also develops new vaccines targeting infectious disease and cancer, and new tools to help basic research and clinical medicine, including sophisticated software for medical use. In bringing together scientists and doctors from a wide range of backgrounds, the centre sponsors cutting-edge research that would not otherwise have been carried out. This intense research environment provides an outstanding training ground for the next generation of leaders in New Zealand biomedical science. As well as coordinating a national network of leading researchers across New Zealand, the Wilkins Centre provides world-class research infrastructure, including both cutting-edge equipment and highly specialised technical training. These two fundamental activities – enabling nationwide multi-disciplinary collaboration, and maintaining internationally competitive research infrastructure – support our mission to ensure that New Zealand capitalises on its outstanding reputation for biomedical research.

  • 2013 Academy Annual Report
    This document has been created from historical website content. 2013 Academy Annual Report The 2013 Academy Annual Report details the accomplishments of the Academy of the Royal Society of New Zealand throughout the year. Chair’s foreword As Chair of the Academy Executive Committee since July 2013, I would like to extend my thanks to Professor Richard Le Heron, who preceded me during the first 6 months of 2013, for his effort in guiding the Academy during that time. Thereafter, he supported and advised me in my role as Chair. Also over the last year the Academy Executive Committee members that sat on the Society’s Council comprising Professor Sir David Skegg (President RSNZ), Professor Richard Le Heron, Dr John Caradus, Professor Michael Corballis, Dr Stephen Goldson, Professor Keith Hunter, Professor Margaret Tennant and Professor Richard Bedford worked to enhance the profile of the Academy as the intellectual focus of Royal Society of New Zealand. An important role of the Chair of the Academy is to chair the annual Fellowship election process. The 2013 round resulted in the selection of 13 new Fellows and two new Honorary Fellows. The Fellowship at 31 December stood at 389 and Honorary Fellowship at 59. This year some modifications to the election procedure introduced on a trial basis last year were continued and the process operated very smoothly, thanks largely to excellent preparatory work done by Gill Sutherland, Senior Manager—Society Secretariat. As a result of consultation with both the Fellows and the representatives of the constituent organisations, it was suggested that the Academy should become more active in preparing RSNZ Expert Advice Papers using both Fellows and the wider communities to formulate well researched documents for public dissemination.
