How donations have helped to advance heart health research
“Philanthropic support through Manaaki Manawa has allowed us to investigate new needle-free methods for treating and preventing rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease, a significant and highly inequitable problem in New Zealand. The opportunity to perform this work with support through Manaaki Manawa has also been very helpful for me as I establish my research career. I am extremely grateful for this support and am confident that it will ultimately lead to significant improvements to healthcare for kiwis.”
James McKeage, Research Fellow, Manaaki Manawa, University of Auckland
“With generous support from our Philanthropic Donors our team are exploring why diseases like high blood pressure and diabetes can make it harder for the brain to keep itself clean. An impaired ability to clear out waste products in our brain can lead to symptoms of cognitive impairment (“brain fog”) and contribute to the risk of conditions like dementia.
Our donors have enabled us to “fast track” this exciting program of research by supporting a postdoctoral fellow and two doctoral students to simultaneously explore the underlying mechanisms using advanced imaging approached such as MRI to look at the function of the “brain drain” in real time, and test a range of promising new therapies to help unblock the brain drain”.
