New Zealand's University of Otago says it's trying to grow scientific capabilities in the Pacific to enhance development and public health.
To that end, the Tongan born academic, Losa Moata'ane, has been appointed Associate Dean in the University's Division of Sciences.
Previously, Dr Moata'ane established a Pacific Research Team in the University's Department of Human Nutrition, before completing her doctorate in public health.
She told Ben Robinson Drawbridge how the university is connecting with the Pacific.
