Welcome - Nau mai, Haere mai

Welcome to our EDGI-NZ website. We are pleased to introduce you to our information, our team, and the research we are working on.

NZ researchers working on the world’s largest eating disorders genetics investigation  

The Eating Disorders Genetics Initiative (EDGI) is the world's largest genetic investigation into eating disorders ever performed. The local arm of EDGI aims to identify hundreds of genes that influence a person’s risk of developing anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa & binge-eating disorder in order to improve treatments, &, ultimately save lives.

Our work has already been supported by more than 3,500 people in Aotearoa, & we are looking for many more of those with lived or living experience of eating disorders.
