Local Canterbury researcher wins prestigious national award

Professor Logan Walker has recently been awarded the prestigious HRC Liley Award.

Professor Walker’s groundbreaking work in RNA splicing has transformed how major diagnostic laboratories in New Zealand and around the world classify genetic variants – improving accuracy, speeding up diagnosis, and enabling earlier clinical interventions.

This achievement means clearer answers, better treatment pathways, and greater hope for families navigating genetic risk.
