Liggins Institute

Liggins Institute

The Liggins Institute is a research institution owned by Auckland University, New Zealand. The Institute, which is closely associated with the Faculty of Medical and Heath Sciences, specialises in Fetal and Developmental origins of disease, and is one of New Zealand’s 'Centres of Research Excellence'.

Research from the Liggins Institute is highly multi-disciplinary, and has often focussed on relatively new areas of research: topics such as fetal programming - the idea that early developmental insults or altered physiology results in adaptation of the fetus for later life. Such adaptation may lead to obesity and/or disease.
