Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Description An initial visit was organised to New Zealand in October 2019, in conjunction with an invited lecture to an International conference. Meetings were held with senior researchers at the University of Auckland, the Liggins Institute, Massey University, the Riddet Institute, Plant and Food, and AgResearch.
Contacts were made, potential collaborations discussed, and key personnel from QIB put in contact.
Secondments and visits that were being planned for 2020/21 have been put on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Discussions will resume in 2021 to plan exchanges
Exploitation Route This is a partnering award, no scientific collaborative visits have yet been organised, when these have completed, we will be in a better position to comment on future directions of the various research strands.
As above, all visits and exchanges are on hold until travel restrictions are lifted.
