Our Capabilities

Articles

Medical advancement doesn’t happen without the facilities, expertise and dedication behind it. Alongside our team of specialist investigators, doctors, nurses and coordinators, we operate a modernised and fully equipped research facility, and recruit volunteers from a diverse database and tailored recruitment strategies.

We gain greater results because:

  • We operate two research centres, one in central Auckland – adjacent to Auckland City Hospital, and the other on Auckland's North Shore. Both are equipped with the latest modern technologies.
  • Our locations in New Zealand’s largest city – Auckland – and our proximity to university campuses and hospitals, affords us access to a pool of volunteer patients, across a range of ethnicities and ages.
Central Auckland location
  • Our Central Auckland facility now covers three floors of research, hosts clinic rooms, an onsite pharmacy for storing and dispensing investigational products at controlled temperatures, and onsite laboratory for storing and processing biological samples, including PBMC processing. We are situated less than 500m from a private radiology centre.
  • Within a five kms radius is: Auckland University (42,000 students), Auckland Medical School and Auckland University of Technology (29,000 students) and Unitec (15,000 students).
  • We are conveniently positioned next to the main arterial hub for Auckland, just minutes from public transport (bus and train), and 25 km from Auckland International airport.

North Shore location

  • We are able to access more patients living in the North of Auckland by offering a convenient location, easily accessed by Auckland's motorway and public transport system.
