New Zealand–China Non-Communicable Diseases Research Collaboration Centre

An inclusive platform for all non-communicable disease researchers interested in NZ-China collaboration

Bringing researchers together

We bring together many of New Zealand’s top NCD researchers to work on improving the health and wellbeing of children, adults and older people.

We aim to build long term and enduring relationships with researchers in China who are working on similar problems.

Our vision:

  • A centre that leverages and complements non-communicable disease (NCD) research capabilities in both countries to the mutual benefit of New Zealand and China;
  • A ‘one stop shop’ for all NCD researchers interested in NZ-China research collaboration.
