The University of Otago this morning has named Moana Theodore as the new director for its famous research programme, the Dunedin Study.
The Otago epidemiologist is only the third director the study has had in its 51 year history, during which it has followed the lives of 1,000 people born in Dunedin between 1972 and early 1973.
The findings about the cohort, who are now into their 50s, have provided material for more than 1,300 reports and publications.
Moana Theodore spoke to Corin Dann.
