Welcome
Kia ora and welcome to the Auckland Bioengineering Institute (ABI) at The University of Auckland. The Institute was established in 2001 as a cross-faculty research centre and deals with the application of mathematical and engineering sciences to biology generally and human physiology in particular. Read more about our primary goals and research.
The Institute is associated with two Centres of Research Excellence, the Maurice Wilkins Centre for Molecular Biodiscovery and the New Zealand Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (NZIMA). It is also collaborating with The Bioinformatics Institute (see also NZ BioMirror), the UK eScience project on integrative biology, and the Wellcome Trust Heart Physiome Project. The Institute is a member of NZBio and a participant in the KAREN network.
