Our people
Our interdisciplinary teams include researchers from a wide range of specialties within the University of Otago, as well as other universities and research agencies in New Zealand and Internationally.
The Centre also has a commitment to postgraduate teaching, and houses postgraduate students whose areas of study align with staff research interests.
We also have many Research Affiliates from both within New Zealand and around the world who we work with both directly and indirectly.
