The Aikenhead Centre for Medical Discovery (ACMD) brings together some of the most brilliant minds in Australia and beyond to jointly develop cutting-edge medical solutions.
The ACMD is a biomedical engineering centre, drawing on insights from human biology, engineering principles and design paradigms to push the boundaries of how we identify, prevent and treat trauma and disease.
At the ACMD, we have a vision; to draw on technological progress to maximise every individual’s ability to live their healthiest life.
As an alliance of nine leading institutions, we are uniquely placed to accelerate the discovery and translation of biomedical engineering innovations at the ACMD. It is the breadth of our capabilities, spanning clinical practice, biomedical engineering research and translation, education, and training, that enables us to tackle stubbornly hard to solve clinical problems.
Set to open in 2024, the $206 million the ACMD building will house all partners under one roof in a purpose-built research and education centre, embedded on the St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne campus.
Get involved in bringing our vision to life
By donating to the ACMD, you will ensure we have the necessary resources to respond to areas of greatest need.
Our collaborative approach
The partners have an impressive track record of internationally significant medical research developments such as the world-first cochlear implant and the bionic eye.
By bringing together our expertise, data, and equipment, we will achieve greater innovation breakthroughs for our health systems, faster.
Working across the partners, the wider precinct and beyond, the ACMD will nurture and support ground-breaking research and offer a clear path to bringing new discoveries from the lab to the people.
