We are proud of our investment in high-class research facilities and laboratories to support our mission to help solve the world鈥檚 most pressing health challenges. These facilities span a breadth of research areas from advanced imaging and biosensing to innovative technologies for medical and surgical robots.

  • At聽国产精品 Graduate鈥疭chool of Biomedical Engineering,聽our聽biological laboratories聽are designed with multidisciplinary research in mind.听They allow the full聽development of biomedical technologies from fundamental research to product design and testing.听

    Our labs聽house聽extensive聽facilities for:聽

    • Biochemistry and molecular biology聽
    • Polymer synthesis and processing聽
    • Biomaterials development and聽characterisation聽
    • Cell culture (PC2)聽
    • Imaging (light, fluorescence & confocal) patch clamp and multichannel in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology聽
    • Animal housing/surgical facilities聽

    For more information, contact聽Lynn Ferris.听

  • Our Electronics and Manufacturing laboratories contain highly聽specialised聽equipment for prototyping,聽characterisation聽and validation of a range of implantable and non-implantable devices,聽prior to preclinical and biological testing.听聽

    Some of our facilities include:聽聽

    • Laser welding and cutting聽
    • Flip-chip bonding聽
    • ASIC design and testing聽
    • General dry electronics (PCB manufacture, soldering聽etc)聽
    • 厂辫别肠颈补濒颈蝉别诲听辞蝉肠颈濒濒辞蝉肠辞辫别蝉听
    • Climate chamber testing聽
    • Hermeticity testing聽
    • Mini lathes聽
    • Various microscopes and tools for manufacturing聽
    • Certified clean room聽

    For more information, contact聽Lynn Ferris.听

  • Our cancer nanotechnology laboratories develop bespoke pharmacological agents and therapies.听The fully聽equipped chemistry facilities allow us to聽synthesise聽tailored nanomaterials which are then聽characterised聽on-site. They are then tested in vitro in conventional and聽three-dimensional cell cultures (on-site) by using confocal imaging and other methods.听Any animal testing聽takes place聽at the animal facility in 国产精品.听

    Our tissue engineering laboratory produces engineered tissue-derived biomaterials for applications in the life sciences and medicine. We decellularize tissue which is then modified and repopulated with the cells of聽choice or聽used as is for implantation.听The lab houses聽specialised聽equipment such as optical microscopes, tissue culture and biomaterials engineering facilities. We also have capabilities for basic histopathological analysis.听

    Our advanced imaging laboratory develops new methods of biomolecular analysis at a single cell level that is quick, sensitive and accurate using聽customised聽fluorescence microscopy systems. We are applying this approach to understand biological systems, detect disease and monitor therapies in clinical settings.听We聽characterise聽native聽colours聽and shapes of individual cells and tissues including in their most authentic in vivo setting. High content image analysis provides a metabolic 鈥渇ingerprint鈥 allowing to distinguish healthy from diseased cells. This approach has been applied to聽several聽health conditions including in ophthalmology, kidney disease and neurodegenerative diseases. We also聽work closely with medical partners in Australia and overseas to translate this technology to the clinic.听

    A similar approach is currently extended to medical images obtained in other modalities such as computed tomography (CT) and PET imaging.听

  • Our multidisciplinary approach to research means we collaborate with teams in other faculties.听Our researchers have access to several other laboratories including:聽聽

    1. Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA)
    2. Surgical &聽Orthopaedic聽Research Laboratories (Prince of Wales)聽
