Designing a protocol to fast-track research into a new cancer drug target
Summary of Research - December 2022
by Victoria Gibbs, Massey University
Aotearoa has an ageing population. Whilst the process of ageing reflects the growth in knowledge and character that comes with life, it also brings with it new challenges. Cancer is a disease that is more prevalent in our older population. Not only does cancer reduce the lifespan of patients, but it reduces their quality of life, making it trying for both patients and their loved ones. Many currently available anti-cancer treatments are themselves hard on the patient and are often unable to provide complete remission. It is important to develop new treatments that will provide better outcomes for cancer patients.

How does wet weather and surface flooding impact urban mobility for people with limited walking?
Summary of Research - December 2022
by Emily Ward, University of Canterbury
Supervisors: Dr Lindsey Conrow and Professor Simon Kingham
This report details progress towards my Master of Urban Resilience and Renewal. Originally, my focus was about the barriers created by surface water. I have extended this to wet weather, as people often experience poor weather and surface flooding together. My main research question has been iterated from Equitable access in the event of flooding for people who face mobility barriers to be: How does wet weather and surface flooding impact urban mobility for people with limited walking? I conducted nine interviews with 15 people, with varying age and physical impairments in the Christchurch district. Key findings have been identified.
