Malaghan Institute of Medical Research

The Malaghan Institute is New Zealand’s leading medical research institute. Our work is focused on finding better treatments and cures for diseases affecting New Zealanders – including cancer, asthma and allergy, arthritis, multiple sclerosis and infectious disease. We are a registered charity and our work is reliant on support from the community.

We have a proud history spanning over three decades. Our bench to beside philosophy is what drives our research through to clinical trials in patients. We have undertaken Phase I/II cancer vaccine trials for non-Hodgkins lymphoma and glioblastoma multiforme (an aggressive brain tumour) and are about to launch a Phase I melanoma vaccine trial.
