The 26-year old breaking new ground on gut health

From Nights, 9:30 pm on 29 January 2024

Peter Tremain is a PhD student at the Auckland Bioengineering Institute where he is doing ground-breaking research into diagnosing gut problems.

His study has taken him global - he's the recent recipient of two scholarships and three travel grants to places like Japan, Chicago and later this year Chile.

He joins Emile Donovan in the RNZ Auckland studio.

Peter and three other men pose around a sculpture of three large letters, "DDW", meaning Digestive Disease Week, inside a large conference hall.
