Monash Institute of Medical Engineering

The most significant advances in healthcare technology are increasingly the result of collaboration between Health and Medical Researchers, Engineers, Designers, and IT specialists - which is why the Monash Institute of Medical Engineering (MIME) was formed.

MIME fosters links between the faculties of Medicine, Engineering, IT and Design and with a range of industry and MedTech ecosystem partners. Through our unique partnership with Monash Partners Academic Health Science Centre, we work directly with clinicians to identify unmet medical needs and provide seed funding, commercialisation support and education for promising research and researchers.
