Australia's premier biomedical engineering research translation centre
The Aikenhead Centre for Medical Discovery (ACMD) brings together clinicians, researchers and engineers to accelerate breakthroughs that can improve patient care and change lives.
As Australia's healthcare challenges continue to grow, collaboration and innovation have never been more important. Established by St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne and seven leading research and education partners, the ACMD is designed to fast-track the development of new technologies, treatments and healthcare solutions.
Together, we are helping address some of healthcare's most pressing challenges, including:
- Rising rates of chronic disease
- Growing demand for healthcare services
- Inequitable access to care across communities
- The need for faster translation of research into patient outcomes
By bringing expertise, technology and discovery together under one roof, the ACMD is helping shape the future of healthcare.
A beating heart of medical discovery
The new Centre on St Vincent’s Fitzroy Campus, located right opposite the Royal Exhibition Building, offers the ideal environment for cross-sector collaboration and cutting-edge healthcare innovation.
Partners of the ACMD and international and industry collaborators will have access to state-of-the-art laboratories, cutting-edge research and clinical equipment, and attractive education facilities.
Our co-location with St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne expands our opportunities for clinician-led research and enables faster translation from bench to bedside.
