Together we can harness the power of the immune system and save lives

People we love are suffering and dying from diseases we don't know enough about. But we do know the immune system holds the key to prevention, treatment and cures.

Deeper understanding

Your support will help research to understand how to use the immune system to fight disease.

Better treatments

Your support will help our scientists  develop new immunotherapies to more effectively treat disease.

Fairer access

Your support will help us develop treatments that are affordable and accessible to all

Let's give all New Zealanders the same chance as Kirsty.

When Kirsty was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, her life turned upside down. Multiple rounds of chemotherapy failed. Her partner, Mick, had recently passed away from cancer. She was now fighting for her life while trying to care for her young son, Sam.

With no remaining treatment options in the public system, Kirsty was accepted into the Malaghan Institute’s ENABLE phase 1 CAR T-cell trial -  the first of its kind in New Zealand.

“It’s incredible to think this happened here in New Zealand. This treatment gave me time with Sam. I just hope more people get the chance I did — without needing to go overseas or fight to be part of a trial.” - Kirsty, participant in the Malaghan Institute's CAR T-cell phase 1 trial.

Kirsty’s story offers real hope. It also highlights why continued progress in treatments like CAR T-cell therapy matters, so that more people who may benefit can access it.

Join us in building a future where all diseases can be treated and cured by harnessing the power of the immune system.

"If we want to bring new therapies to New Zealand we really need to make sure we have the right support to get them there. 

That means more fundamental research, more data, and – crucially – more financial support to really prove we are on to something."
