Message from the Head of School

Kia ora koutou

Welcome to our School of Medical Sciences (SMS) Newsletter which has become the place where we acknowledge and record the successes of our staff and students. These various successes whether they are big or small represent the different parts of the academic and career journeys of the staff and students who together form one of the biggest and most successful Schools at Waipapa Taumata Rau: The University of Auckland.

The range of academic disciplines across the School and the excellence of the research we conduct is driven by the research led teaching performed by the academic Departments that make up SMS. Furthermore, this concentration of research activity has allowed the School to host the establishment of a number of research centres that allow us to collaborate more widely with colleagues from outside the School.

I invite you to read about our current and archived successes to gain some insight into the talented individuals that make up SMS and how their individual achievements are contributing to the overall success of the School.
