Aikenhead Centre for Medical Discovery
The Aikenhead Centre for Medical Discovery (ACMD) is Australia's premier biomedical engineering research translation centre, focused on engineering the future of healthcare. ACMD is at the forefront of medical innovation, aiming to create a more equitable and cost-effective health system by translating groundbreaking research into tangible medical and healthcare solutions. Their translational priorities include Medtech (smart devices, bionics, implantables, prosthetics, artificial materials), Biotech (regenerative medicine, biomaterials, targeted delivery systems), and Digital Health (analytics, precision medicine, machine learning). ACMD offers structured programs like 'ACMD Challenge' for project identification, 'ACMD Advise' for solution building, and 'ACMD Engine' for navigating regulatory frameworks and IP management. The centre also has a strong history through the ACMD BioFab, which has demonstrated success in developing biological structures using living cells and 3D bio-printing technology, serving as a model for the new Centre.
