Congratulations to Anna Trengove on a fantastic PhD completion seminar today:ā© Targeting Seamless Cartilage Repair with a Bioadhesive Implant. Great collaboration with ā¦Claudia Di Bellaā© ā¦ACMD - BioFabā© ā¦UnimelbBMEā© ā¦Graeme Clark Instituteā©


Wonderful to celebrate these PhD graduations after long wait for some - great work in nanomaterials and medtech from the School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering. Congratulations! UnimelbBME @engunimelb


Great discussion on the ethical implications of tissue engineering and stem cells with Prof Megan Munsie for masters students ā¦UnimelbBMEā© ā¦Stem Cell Foundationā©


Ethical quandaries, human-animal interactions, and how to feed the global population sustainably. Thanks for hosting and inspiring our UnimelbBME classes Science Gallery Melbourne


MedTech Challenge workshops starting at ACMD this month. Canāt wait to see the solutions that will come from this initiative to help patients. UnimelbBME UniMelb MDHS

Shocking to see disparity in ARC DECRAs in engineering to men and women growing over the last 5 years. This despite strong numbers of female PhD grads, ROPE considerations, targeted support schemes. Much more work needed. Thank you for the analysis Prof Louise Purton Dr Gaetan Burgio @[email protected]

Building Australia-Germany collaborations in biomaterials to address clinical needs. Great to reconnect with colleagues in Bayreuth UniversitƤt Bayreuth following our joint project supported by @studymelbourne and veski - with Laurence Meagher Monash Institute of Medical Engineering (MIME) Swinburne University of Technology UnimelbBME CSIRO ACMDLink




Thank you @ASBTE and all my current and past students, collaborators and supporters. Wonderful to become a Fellow of the International Biomaterials Science & Engineering Society with super colleagues! 12th World Biomaterials Congress (WBC 2024)
