Te Ohu Matahuhua | “A collective of diverse minds” or “A multi-faceted group”

Located within Te Pokapū Mātai Tauwhiti Io Tōpū-Taiāki, the Centre for Neuroendocrinology (CNE) , we are a collective of researchers, technical staff, academic staff and students who are passionate about inclusivity.

Our name reflects the kaupapa of the group to embrace and represent diversity, in a multi-faceted manner. We proudly use it to identify our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion.

Our purpose as a collective is to diversify and educate our Centre, and to advocate for and offer support for all our staff and students.
