Welcome to the Aikenhead Centre for Medical Discovery (ACMD).
At the ACMD, we are coming together to engineer the future of healthcare.
We are at the forefront of medical innovation, striving to create a more equitable and cost-effective health system.
By bringing together leading universities and research institutes with a major tertiary hospital, we are uniquely positioned to tackle some of the world’s most challenging health problems.
Together, we fast-track the translation of groundbreaking research into tangible medical and healthcare solutions to transform lives.
The ACMD will address Australia’s health and healthcare challenges and research priorities by translating innovations in:
- Medtech – smart devices, bionics, implantables, prosthetics, artificial materials
- Biotech – regenerative medicine, biomaterials, targeted delivery systems
- Digital Health – analytics, precision medicine, machine learning
Our programs are focused on increasing the speed and certainty of research translation towards improving the healthcare system, the productivity of clinicians and quality of life outcomes for patients.
