MedTEC - Medical Technology, Engineering and Computation

MedTEC is a special interest group for engineers, computer scientists and anyone on campus interested in medical technology. We also support clinicians and researchers who have ideas or challenges that require engineering or technical computing solutions. Get in touch if you'd like to join the group or if you have a technology-related idea or challenge that you'd like to bring to the group: [email protected] 

Note that MedTEC primarily aims to provide a community of practice and does not duplicate other groups or enablers that offer dedicated support in certain areas, such as MCRI's Innovation Team (for commercialisation/IP matters), IT support, or CEBU (for statistical support).
