Research in medical technologies

We develop new and emerging technologies to respond to global health challenges. We use quantum sensing technologies, biosensors and biomagnetic processes to create new technologies that improve diagnosis, treatment, and management of disease.

Research groups and labs

  • Accelerator Physics

    Particle Accelerators are vital for science and society. Our research focuses on the design, optimisation, and operation of particle accelerators.

  • Melbourne Analytical Geochemistry

    Melbourne Analytical Geochemistry—MAG—builds on over 20 years of field-leading trace element and isotope geochemistry.

  • Physical Bioscience

    Development of new technologies for bio-sensors, systems for remote-location oxygen delivery, diamond-based implant devices, and quantum imaging systems for bio-magnetic processes.

  • Simpson Lab

    Applying quantum sensing technology to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and management of neurological and iron-related disorders.

  • Translational Research Unit

    Our research focuses on cytocompatibility and genotoxicity, and on using preclinical in vivo models to evaluate biomaterials and implantable devices.
