SUMMIT is organised by the FMHS Postdoctoral Society and brings together researchers from across the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, the Liggins Institute, and the Auckland Bioengineering Institute (ABI). This vibrant one-day event celebrated scientific excellence and fostered cross-disciplinary collaboration in health and biomedical research.
Empowering Emerging Researchers
Lab Supply sponsored the Best Abstract Prize, which recognises outstanding research and presentation skills. Our own Adam Hogue-Spurway attended the event in person and had the pleasure of presenting the award to Petra White, this year’s winner.
By supporting awards like this, we help shine a light on the incredible work being done across the University of Auckland’s research community and encourage the next generation of research leaders.
A Full Day of Insight & Connection
The programme featured keynote presentations from:
- Associate Professor Siouxsie Wiles, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences
- Professor Leo Cheng, Auckland Bioengineering Institute
Alongside the oral presentations and elevator pitch competition, the event offered catered networking, sponsor displays, and a cocktail function to round out the day, creating plenty of opportunities for attendees to share ideas and spark new collaborations.
15 Years Behind New Zealand Science
This sponsorship is part of Lab Supply’s ongoing commitment to supporting science across Aotearoa. Now celebrating our 15th anniversary, we continue to stand behind New Zealand research through sponsorships, partnerships, and direct engagement with the scientific community. We’re excited to see the SUMMIT community continue to thrive, and proud to play a role in encouraging innovation and excellence in the next generation of researchers.
