A Legacy of Discovery - and a New Chapter Begins
For more than 65 years, the Canterbury Medical Research Foundation has been at the forefront of medical innovation, supporting exceptional researchers whose discoveries have improved lives across New Zealand and beyond.
Now, as we celebrate this remarkable milestone, we’re opening a new chapter: the launch of the Canterbury Medical Research Foundation Alumni. A community that connects past and present researchers, celebrates shared achievements, and continues the spirit of discovery that defines our foundation.
Welcome to the Alumni Community
The Alumni network brings together the brilliant minds who have shaped the Foundation’s proud history of research excellence. From early-career scientists to established leaders, this community exists to inspire collaboration, share knowledge, and honour the legacy of world-class research carried out under the Foundation’s support.
Whether you’re continuing your research journey in New Zealand or leading breakthroughs around the world, the Alumni network is your space to stay connected, contribute ideas, and celebrate the collective impact of Canterbury-driven discovery.
Foundation Members
Each member of our Foundation Alumni community represents a vital part of our story — from the earliest grant recipients to today’s emerging innovators.
Our members’ achievements span every field of medical science, from
