We bring together expertise from engineering, technology, medicine and science to develop tools to improve community health and individual patient outcomes. We conduct world-renowned research in advanced biomechanics, electroceuticals, neuroimaging, personalised implants, biomaterials, regenerative medicine, informatics, and signal processing.

We partner locally, nationally and internationally with clinicians, surgeons, medical research institutes, regulatory agencies and industry.

Our MedTech program provides the pathway to bring new technologies into real-world healthcare applications. New materials, personally tailored devices and better preventative and diagnostic tools improve long-term outcomes for patients and society.

Our innovation philosophy is centred on close relationships with hospitals and an understanding of the clinical challenges faced by clinicians and patients. We form inter-disciplinary research teams to explore new possibilities for care and recovery. Our development pipeline extends from conception all the way through to meeting regulatory requirements for new medical devices. That means our R&D is anchored by real-world challenges and structured to allow rapid delivery and uptake.

We work closely with industry to develop innovative MedTech solutions that expand or create new markets. We partner with local and global organisations directly to broaden their R&D base and adopt flexible strategies under many partnership models. Partnerships often culminate in hosting innovation hubs with industry.
