3D Printing for Jaw Bone Reconstruction – Clinicians have successfully used custom-made 3D printed bone scaffolds, printed on-site at The University of Queensland, to rebuild part of a man’s jawbone. Professor Saso Ivanovski from UQ’s School of Dentistry, who led the clinical trial, said the case demonstrated the safe and effective use of the technology […]
In a joint project between MedUni Vienna and TU Wien, the world’s first 3D-printed “brain phantom” has been developed, which is modelled on the structure of brain fibres and can be imaged using a special variant of magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI). As a scientific team led by MedUni Vienna and TU Wien has now shown […]

Mini kidneys pave the way to better treatments: Approximately 1.7 million Australians have kidney disease. The potential toxicity of new drugs is a major problem in the search for better treatments. We need a safer way to test new therapies, especially in children, to avoid additional risk or harm. Researchers have used cutting edge technology […]

New molecule chip changing the face of modern manufacturing: University of Queensland researchers have pioneered a new chemical process to manufacture the molecules that are the building blocks for lifesaving medicines, vaccines and energy storage materials. Professor Matt Trau from UQ’s Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN) has been awarded an ARC Laureate Fellowship […]
