Supporting Research with Biomedical Engineering

FBE supports researchers in the Flinders University School of Medicine and clinicians at Flinders Medical Centre. FBE have extensive mechanical, electronic and programming resources , skilled biomedical engineers and technicians with a range of expertise, and a network of clinical & academic experts to enable complete development for novel clinical and research devices from original concept and design through to manufacture of pre-production prototypes.
