Rinki Murphy FRACP is a New Zealand endocrinologist, and is a full professor of molecular medicine at the University of Auckland, specialising in diabetes pathophysiology and precision medicine.
Academic career
[edit]Murphy undertook her medical training at the University of Auckland, before completing a PhD at the University of Plymouth. Murphy then joined the faculty of the University of Auckland, rising to full professor.[1] Murphy works as a physician in the Auckland and Counties Manukau District Health Boards.[2] Murphy is a member of the Maurice Wilkins Centre for Molecular Biodiscovery, a New Zealand Centre of Research Excellence.[3] Murphy is an emeritus member of the Healthier Lives National Science Challenge.[4] She is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians.[2] From 2019, Murphy served two years as the Honorary Medical Director of the Diabetes Foundation Aotearoa.[5]
Murphy is a diabetologist, and studies the pathophysiology of diabetes and obesity. She aims to use genetics to identify biomarkers for diabetes risk in order to develop precision medicine treatment strategies.[1][2] Her research identified that New Zealand patients would benefit from greater genetic testing for a specific rare type of diabetes, monogenic diabetes. Patients with monogenic diabetes are frequently misdiagnosed as having Type 2 diabetes and may be treated with insulin, when precision medicine shows they are generally better off on tablets.[6] Murphy also led research that showed bariatric surgery in New Zealand was a 'postcode lottery'.[7][8][9]
Murphy leads a specialist weight management service Te Mana Ki Tua that was opened in June 2023. The unit serves the south Auckland area.[10]
