Congratulations to Massey researchers on successful funding in Te Pūtea Rangahau a Marsden, the Marsden Fund 2025! The researchers’ world-leading work in exploring a new physical realm and protecting and enhancing human life promises significant benefits at global levels. Their research projects explore quantum physics, cancer treatment, misinformation, superbugs and mathematical analysis. The Marsden Fund of the Royal Society Te Apārangi is regarded as the hallmark of excellence for research in Aotearoa New Zealand, and competition for grants is intense. All Massey University’s 2025 Marsden Fund recipients lead international teams: * PROFESSOR JOACHIM BRAND: Exploring hidden patterns in the coldest matter in the universe * PROFESSOR VYACHESLAV FILICHEV: Innovative shape-shifting drugs to fight drug resistance in cancer * ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR STEPHEN HILL: Unpacking how we choose who to trust for knowledge in complex, contentious issues with the potential for misinformation * PROFESSOR JASNA RAKONJAC: Safeguarding the future from superbugs by preventing the spread of antimicrobial resistance genes * ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR DAVID SIMPSON: Empowering research analysts with better mathematical tools for analysing physical phenomena that switch between different behaviours.
