With a simple blood test, ctDNA provides a transformative, accessible and less invasive addition to current testing for cancer patients.

Hear about this revolutionary technology in a new podcast series, Sticking it to Cancer.

Shared transport has benefits: more equitable access, less GHGe, greater social connection. A short film by Ollie Dawe describes how two residential communities in Ōtautahi Christchurch participated in research to see if shared transport would suit them.

Ebikes used to be conspicuously absent in Ngā Hau Māngere. That’s all changed since researchers, funders and the community came together to run #ebike trials.
Watch this short film by Ollie Dawe to see how a community embraced the joy of cycling. https://t.co/yUcuAGCBzf

Food is vitally important to our health and the health of our planet. The Sustainable NZ Kai project modelled 5 policies that could benefit both.

Dr Cristina Cleghorn’s @publichealthUOW research is featured in a comic by Toby Morris @XTOTL in @TheSpinoffTV today.

Great to see @DiabetesAus supporting culturally inclusive, co-designed #diabetes research with Pasifika communities. Healthier Lives is also celebrating 7 years of Pacific-led co-designed NZ research to prevent #type2diabetes - see our most recent project: https://t.co/QPOcnvS86j

[Diabetes Australia @DiabetesAus]

In a world first, Diabetes Australia Research Program funding has supported research into diabetes self-management using a Pasifika Indigenous approach. The program has shown the importance of culturally specific programs delivered by the community. https://t.co/vVX9nwfMqW

Healthier Lives researchers have contributed their expertise to a major new report on how rebalancing our #food system can improve health and wellbeing. Science Challenge Director Prof Sir Jim Mann talked with @NewshubNZ about how this also saves money.
