Chiasma is a national New Zealand organisation that creates links between academia and the wider science, technology and engineering (STEM) industries. Our mission is to inspire and help our members to develop a successful career in the STEM industry by providing them with the necessary skills, networks and mindset. In turn, these innovative, well connected and commercially aware graduates will contribute to the growth of New ZealandÕs knowledge based economy. History Chiasma was founded in 2004 by Priv Bradoo, Swati Sharma and Daniel Sun, three PhD students in the University of Auckland's Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences. Since then, Chiasma has grown into a thriving organisation across New Zealand. Our programmes The beating heart of Chiasma is our three centres - Chiasma Auckland, Chiasma Wellington and Chiasma Dunedin. Each centre runs their own flavour of networking events, workshops, panel discussions, mentorship programmes and site visits tailored towards the local students and industry. Chiasma Committees The three centres are run by their own student-led Chiasma Committee. Each committee is made up of business savvy, entrepreneurial and connected students who are passionate about the STEM industries. Connecting our centres is the Chiasma National committee, made up of previous executives from the local centres. Charity Details Legal Name: Chiasma Incorporated Registration Number: CC53816
